Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> ranks as number nine among the 50 states for lowest student debt, according to a national website that tracks student loan information. That is in large part due to the affordability of University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>‘s 10 campuses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> Mānoa<\/a> is 189 out of the nearly 1,000 national four-year private and public higher education institutions that self-reported information on average student debt per borrower.

There are more than 4,000 four-year private and public colleges and universities nationally, according to the U.S. Department of Education.<\/p>\n

Among the nation’s public universities, UH<\/abbr> Mānoa ranks number one in the state, with an average student loan debt of $24,539 per Class of 2018 borrower. This figure was slightly lower than the national Class of 2018 average debt per borrower figure of $28,565.<\/p>\n

About 46 percent of UH<\/abbr> Mānoa graduates in 2018 reported having student debt.<\/p>\n
