Do you have to pay student debt if you leave the country?

the banks make enough money, so if you dont pay them back it wont event make a scratch on their earnings, go ahead and do it!

Nobody will put a gun to your head and force you to pay a debt, but a moral person will do it anyway. By refusing to repaying a loan that you took out in good faith and AGREED to repay, you are removing funds from the student loan program. Asking this question says a lot about you. I suppose you're one of those people who doesn't really have a conscience or ever feel responsibility for your action. Debt is a civil matter and is confined to the country from which it originates. I'm very saddened by the calousness of the person who posted the first answer here.
