I wonder if the average debt listed here includes loans for cost of living 🤔.

The school's total cost is not including living cost correct?
 
I presume their term "cost of education" would be equivalent to "cost of attendance," but I would like confirmation based on the programs' websites.

I'm calling BS on these numbers. There is no way that student debt went down by over $100k in 4 years while tuition, & cost of living have only increased. I haven't seen a single school decrease their tuition over this time period.

Loan interest was paused a lot during that time. Could have something to do with it. But I do agree, 100k difference is absurd.
