According to a recent survey by the Student Loan Report, the
top five schools in the nation that stick parents with the most student
debt include Bradley University which left parents with an average
debt of $ 17,419 in 2015; University of the Pacific which results in parent
debt of $ 13,764; Drake University which leaves parents with $ 13,561 in
debt; Campbell University which has parent
debt of $ 12,182, and
Mount Saint Mary College which has average student
debt of $ 12,180.
It goes without saying that taxes are at the

mount up to more than the original
debt.
