VPM Daily Newscast Special Edition - Dreams Deferred Pt. 3 - a podcast by VPM

Over the past year, VPM News has been looking into a hidden type of debt affecting thousands of Virginia college students. It’s not federal student loans – which dominates most of the headlines. It’s money owed directly to institutions -- called direct-to-school debt. 
 
In our series Dreams Deferred, we’re exploring how this debt is creating hardships for students - making it difficult for them to complete their degrees and advance their careers. Today we unpack university policies and practices that create and perpetuate this problem by focusing on one school, Virginia Commonwealth University.
