English term or phrase: awful student loans
The unfortunate truth is that college students often graduate with debts between $ 10.000 and even $ 100.000. And while everyone in the U.S. is quick to point out those awful student loans, they are not the sole culprit.

j'ai du mal à trouver un bon adjectif pour awful, merci !
