Of those 57% of students that actually incur debt in a private institution, it's about 29,965% of private college students incur debt. Another interesting statistic is how long it's taking our students to graduate. About half graduate pretty much in the four-year time period... the other half raises the average time to graduate to 6.3 years. 6.3 years. Again, just asking the question, why is that, particularly when you have so many kids leaving high school with college credits in the bag? (03:43–03:57)

CLAIM

Asserts that half of students graduate in four years, while the average time to graduate is 6.3 years.
