College is expensive, but students can take steps to reduce costs and save money:
Live Off-Campus
Sharing an apartment with roommates often costs much less than dorms. Also helps avoid pricy meal plans.
Buy Used Textbooks
Used books are discounted up to 90% compared to new. Rentals and ebooks also save substantially.
Take Public Transit
Using on-campus and city buses and trains saves the expense of a car and parking fees.
Limit Food Delivery
Cooking your own meals saves significantly over takeout and delivery every meal.
Split Supplies
Share mini fridges, printers, and other dorm supplies with a roommate to cut costs.
Sell Unused Items
Old electronics, furniture and clothes can be sold online for extra cash.
Leverage Student Discounts
Take advantage of student admission prices, software deals and travel discounts.
Apply for Scholarships
Even small scholarships add up and reduce student loan amounts.
Work Part-Time
Earn extra money for expenses and reduce need for loans.
With smart spending habits and resourcefulness, students can get through college without incurring overwhelming debt. Saving money takes discipline but pays off long after graduation.
