摘要：

This article examines the perception of college based on the investment in human or social capital. An online survey was used to collect data. After deleting the responses from older cohorts (Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation) and incomplete responses, the sample consisted of 1,000 adult participants who had student loans. Similarities and differences between generations X and Y student loan borrowers were investigated. Generation Y ranked social capital reasons for a college education higher than human capital reasons. In contrast, Generation X ranked human capital reasons for a college education higher than social capital reasons. Generation and perceived value of college were significantly associated with the satisfaction related to student loans.
