It’s no surprise to anyone that college life can be expensive. Not only is there the cost of paying for the education, but many students move out of their family home to attend. This puts a lot of financial strain on everyone.
However, there are ways to save money with good financial choices and avoid taking on more debt. Here are some insider tips to keep money in your pocket even if you live off-campus.
Most students have to operate on a tight budget. Whether you are learning on a grant or you are being g sponsored by your parents, it is common for students to lack money. I remember my student days, where we were on a tight budget almost the whole of student life. We used to live out of noodles on days when the dorm kitchen was closed for some reason. We used to pool money for buying books and supplies.
I studied in India we had subsidized education there. I didn’t have to take a loan to study tuition was negligible, all we had to pay for was the living expenses. But still, as my father was retired I didn’t have any other choice but to make every penny count. Now my nephew just got into a grad school. He’s studying in the USA, he got all the scholarships available for him. But still, the loan was not small.
Another year and another freshman year is about to start. Congratulations to all freshmen, you made it to a university! Every year thousands of students make the same mistakes and they drop out.

But if you do want to approach this wisely, you need to keep a lot of important things in mind, from how are you going to take care of yourself to how are you going to spend money.
Sadly, not all of us have good money habits when we go to college or start studying abroad. Those things are rarely taught in schools, so unless you’ve read some good books, received great tips from your parents or have good money handling skills on your own, there’s a chance that you might struggle with both budgeting and spending.
As a student, saving money would seem like moving mountains. If you want to attain financial success, then you need to keep a track on your expenses and put an end to the bad habits. I’ll talk about money-saving tricks for students today.
In the student phase, we all have fine wine tastes on a cheap beer budget. Don’t worry; it’s quite normal if you are on the same verge. Most of the college students either live on a budget or prepare to fall in the trap of debts.
College is an exciting time for students because it marks a new level of independence in their lives. The flip side of independence, they say, is responsible and without the constant supervision of parents, a number of financial mistakes a college student makes. College students must carefully make numerous decisions that have the potential to impact the rest of their lives.
The new status of these students, who are now legally considered adults, can be challenging financially. Fortunately, the biggest challenges can be addressed with a bit of effort. Here are a few basic mistakes that, if avoided, can help college students sail relatively smoothly through to their graduation and beyond.
For most students, the college provides the opportunity to live away from their parents and make critical decisions independently. One of these decisions is choosing where to live while pursuing studies. As a student, you have the option of staying in the campus dorms or renting an apartment outside the university. Either way, you will inevitably end up with some kind of debt.
The cost of college housing, both on-campus and off-campus constitutes one of the biggest expenses after college tuition, and therefore, students should make a financially sound decision when choosing a housing option. Knowing the costs involved, benefits and challenges of each option will put you in a better financial position.
Over the years we have attended many graduation parties. And, like all other occasion, our strategy was to look for an appropriate greeting card and a gift card. But when a very close person is graduating, your brother, sister or your own child, then you need to think of special something. When you are under strict budget, you may need a cheaper alternative that has the same value associate with it, otherwise.
If you’re invited to a graduation party, this is the best time to think about the gift. Remember to get something that is lovely and that will appreciate hard academic work while welcoming him/her to the new life. Here are 101 college graduation gift ideas under $ 1000 for your son or daughter.
Education is costly, it’s becoming costlier with every passing day! While the curriculum is getting tougher. The courses are more demanding than ever, with larger workloads and higher grade boundaries and greater competition from within the country and abroad. At the same time, the cost of studying increased tremendously over the last 10 years. In 2005 average student loan debt per student was $10,000, now in 2015, the figure is a whopping $25,000. While, over the same 10 years, the minimum wage has remained the same, almost.
So, students, these days need to find work to support their cost of education. The place we live in has about 8 universities nearby. Most of the area’s restaurants are staffed with a local student, for waiting for jobs. I wonder if and how much time they get for studies. I think if students can work at online jobs, they may get more time for studies, compared to the physical jobs I see them doing.
