I found The New Yorker piece to be satire as the overall purpose is to make fun of student debt and honestly, I felt I wasted some of my time reading this. I expected more from this and felt kinda let down. The New York Times piece on the other hand was interesting to read as we get to see the perspective of those affected by student debt and how it becomes a burden later on in your life. I found this piece to be more relevant to us as college students because we can learn from the mistakes made by others and make sure we don’t follow their footsteps into the life of college debt. I like the response by Alisha because what she mentioned is pretty much true; the college you go to may have some influence on if you get hired or not but after a couple years after you graduate, it doesn’t matter as the education from both schools in reality are similar or pretty much the same.
