College is a time of education, exploration and adventure; it’s also a period where you likely need to save money. When you and most of your friends are trying to keep more funds in the bank, you can use some clever tips to help you get the most out of your money.
Review Your Meal Plan
If you’re constantly having money left over on your meal plan at the end of the semester, consider a more cost-effective plan. While the college might require you to have a certain meal plan during your first-year there, you will likely have more freedom as you earn more credits.
Shop For Textbooks Wisely
You’ve probably heard older students complaining about the cost of books if you’re new to campus. Skipping out on buying books is a bad idea because professors require them for a reason. Instead, ask your professor if it’s acceptable to use an older version or an online version of the book if one of those options is available for less. Also, you might be able to reduce the cost of books by taking them out from the library.
