Millennial Money: A college education isn't priceless
College-bound high school seniors of America: You are about to embark on one of the most formative periods of your life, full of new friendships, personal growth and overcaffeinated conversations on the nature of humanity.

At this point, while you're working on applications and deciding which schools most excite you, you may be hearing that college debt is "good debt." That an education is priceless, and if you're going to borrow money for anything, it should be to expand your mind and career options.
That's only partially true.
It's OK to borrow some money for school.
