?If anything ever happened, God forbid, that is my debt also,? said Ms. Griffith?s mother, Marlene Griffith.
Ms. Griffith, 23, wouldn?t seem a perfect financial fit for a college that costs nearly $50,000 a year. Her father, a paramedic, and mother, a preschool teacher, have modest incomes, and she has four sisters. But when she visited Ohio Northern, she was won over by faculty and admissions staff members who urge students to pursue their dreams rather than obsess on the sticker price.
?As an 18-year-old, it sounded like a good fit to me, and the school really sold it,? said Ms. Griffith, a marketing major. ?I knew a private school would cost a lot of money. But when I graduate, I?m going to owe like $900 a month. No one told me that.?
With more than $1 trillion in student loans outstanding in this country, crippling debt is no longer confined to dropouts from for-profit colleges or graduate students who owe on many years of education, some of the overextended debtors in years past. Now nearly everyone pursuing a bachelor?s degree is borrowing. As prices soar, a college degree statistically remains a good lifetime investment, but it often comes with an unprecedented financial burden.
Ninety-four percent of students who earn a bachelor?s degree borrow to pay for higher education ? up from 45 percent in 1993, according to an analysis by The New York Times of the latest data from the Department of Education. This includes loans from the federal government, private lenders and relatives.
For all borrowers, the average debt in 2011 was $23,300, with 10 percent owing more than $54,000 and 3 percent more than $100,000, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reports. Average debt for bachelor degree graduates who took out loans ranges from under $10,000 at elite schools like Princeton and Williams College, which have plenty of wealthy students and enormous endowments, to nearly $50,000 at some private colleges with less affluent students and less financial aid.
Here at Ohio Northern, recent graduates with bachelor?s degrees are among the most indebted of any college in the country, and statewide, graduates of Ohio?s more than 200 colleges and universities carry some of the highest average debt in the country, according to data reported by the colleges and compiled by an educational advocacy group. The current balance of federal student loans nationwide is $902 billion, with an additional $140 billion or so in private student loans.
?If one is not thinking about where this is headed over the next two or three years, you are just completely missing the warning signs,? said Rajeev V. Date, deputy director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal watchdog created after the financial crisis.

Depuy Hip Recall Law Suits?
The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System first became available in 2005 in the United States. Johnson & Johnson was given special clearance from the FDA in 2005 to market the ASR devices without first performing clinical trials?tests to determine the safety of the products.Since 2008, the FDA has received approximately 400 complaints from patients who received ASR hip replacements. In March 2010, J&J acknowledged that ASR products had a higher-than-normal failure rate after data revealed that approximately 12% of patients who received an ASR device needed ?revision surgery.? In August 2010, DePuy issued a voluntary recall of both ASR devices, more than a year and a half after the first lawsuit was filed. Many experts agree that a recall should have been issued sooner, due to the high volume of complaints about the devices.
The recall came after data from a study indicated that the five year failure rate of this product is approximately 13%, or 1 in 8 patients. Even if the defective device is replaced, it can leave behind dangerous, possibly deadly fragments that may not be discovered for years. DePuy identified reasons for the failure of the hip replacement system as component loosening, component malalignment, infection, fracture of the bone, dislocation, metal sensitivity and pain. Additional complications from the hip replacement system may include increased metal ion levels in the blood, bone staining, necrosis, swelling, nerve damage, tissue damage and/or muscle damage.
At the beginning of 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics said they were phasing out the ASR Hip Implant because of declining sales, but never mentioned the high failure rate data from an Australian implant registry. In March 2010, the New York Times reported that DePuy issued its first warning to doctors and patients about the high early failure rate. However, at this point, they still had not issued a recall of the product. In fact, they adamantly denied there was a recall and claimed any statements referencing a recall were false.
Johnson and Johnson has experienced other recall issues this year and DePuy Orthopaedics was barely three years removed from a scandal that involved undisclosed payments to doctors.
