The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill topped the list for the second straight year. The University of Virginia and the College of William & Mary placed third and fourth, respectively. The average UMW student's debt at graduation is $12,800, the report states. Annual tuition and fees for in-state students are about $13,000.
