I borrowed too liberally in hind-sight and wasn't offered much financial aide at all, even coming from a low-income, single parent house hold. Sallie Mae jacked my interest rates up to over 14% before I was able to re-finance at 7%, but it's still essentially like having a mortgage on a 120k house, without the benefits of being able to live in it! If/when I go to grad school, value will on the top of my list when considering where to go. I refuse to take on tons more debt for another degree.
