Figures for comparison institutions represent the percent of students who entered as freshmen and graduated after taking out at least one student loan at the institution, according the Peterson's version of the Common Data Set (CDS). These figures may understate the percent of students who borrowed since they may not include students who took out certain types of private loans. The corresponding percent of UC students with loans was calculated based on loan records in the UC Corporate Student System.
