How much do you--and everyone else--owe after college?

Thanks to the link from alum Ned Culhane:

A few comparisons:

School/Average student debt, 2008
Evergreen/$15371
UW Seattle/$16800
Pacific Lutheran/$22484
Whitman/$16684
University of Oregon/$18805
Lewis and Clark/$20661
Willamette/$24465
University of Puget Sound/$25005

A couple of ways you can look at this: that we are at the top of this, and/or the distance between Puget Sound and a state school like Oregon is smaller than we might expect--

Thoughts?
