It depends on the size and terms of the loans. I still pay about $75/mo at 3.8% for my loans (20 year later). Going away to college was far, far, far more valuable to me (in terms of fun, adventure, etc) than the cost of that monthly bill.
6.5 / 8 / 9 according to their own website
These are about the same as when I was in school during the great financial crisis
I have/had loans from 2.5-6.5

20 years ago the base rate for any debt was cheaper than it is right now.
What anyone has to decide is whether they are willing to take on debt at today's rates. You weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself.
Personally I wouldn't have gone to college if I had to take on debt to do it. That was my choice though, and it was only right for me in my situation.
