University is an exciting time to learn and to make friends that will last a lifetime. This increase means that most students can get into money trouble if they're not careful.
Students must also pay thousands more per year for room and board. In addition to this, add on money for clothes, travel, and other personal expenses which will leave students having to fork out a lot of money each year. This is the truth...
At most universities, councillors can give students advice on how to budget their money. The first thing they suggest is to write down your income. For example, the money you will get from your family or a part-time job. Put your expenses into two groups: those that change (food, phone, books, travel), and those that will stay the same (tuition, room and board). Add together all of your expenses.
This means they save their money, rather than trying to borrow from others. As you can see, there's more to learn at university than just what's taught in the classroom!
