Hispanics were more likely to borrow to attend private for-profit institutions than to attend public four-year institutions. In 2003-04, 68 percent of Hispanic undergraduates at for-profit institutions borrowed to pay for college, compared to 41 percent of Hispanics at public four-year institutions. This illustrates the complexity of attributing debt aversion to a group based solely on borrowing patterns.
