About Angola, New York

Angola is a village in the town of Evans in Erie County, New York, United States. The community was previously called "Evans Station". Around 1854 or 1855, the earliest recorded reference to Angola is in an 1824 publication, when it was one of 3 townships divided from Collins. A post office was established there in 1823 bearing the name "Angola". (Wikipedia)

Weigh it value

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
