Wonderful write up there. I always say that any person doing business in a school environment especially higher institutions is bound to make it big as long as school is in session. I would like to add few other ones you didn't include.

1. Hair saloon for the ladies
2. Barber shop for the guys
3. Tailoring shops

You can also add manicure and pedicure to the hair saloon.
You could even sell raw food stuff or ingredients

A very good list, these are very good way to make money as a student especially for someone whose parents are not that financially buoyant. They can use it to support themselves in school and for covering little bills, But above all it should be a business that won't affect the student academic performance because being a student alone is a very tasking, so if should be a business that does not take majority of your time as a student

I totally agree, studying is not an impediment, as long as you know how to distribute your time and your priorities well.
When you decide to work on your own, one of the first difficulties is deciding what to do, what business to start.
When a person decides to try to work on their own, one of the first difficulties they usually face is what to do, what business to start, that is, how and where to find a good business idea.
Finding good business ideas is a matter of attitude. Develop curiosity, have a proactive attitude, be a good observer, seek new ways of doing things, take controlled risks; versus waiting for someone to bring you a good business idea for you to benefit.

It is true that without an idea there is no company, but the idea is only the beginning of the creative process that, planning through, will culminate (or not) with the creation of the company.

Wonderful article but there is one particular business that is thriving so much among students in almost all Schools in the country and that business is clothes selling business. There are so many student on campus that loves buying clothes and clothing items. They love this because they will be seen to be fashionable and quite desirable in the school environment. This has created a huge demand for clothing business. Infact, all students wants to look fly whenever they are in school.

I will definitely recommend the laundry business and painting and decorating new students hostels. I have friends that are either into laundry or painting and decorations. For laundry business, the major thing you need is a washing machine and pressing iron, will the that you are ready for business. You don't even need a shop site because you can do this from the comfort of your house. For painting and decorations, all you need is good referrals from your friends and colleagues in your awesomeness at painting and decorations. With that you are good to go.

These are very wonderful ideas you have shared here and as a student you need to be very strategic in choosing the plan that works for you though personally online source of earnings would have been best like the survey and paid forums but as Nigerians we had very little from survey because the survey sites complain of having low advertisers from our country but paid forums will always esrn you something substantial if you're committed then and for offline it will be good if you serve us estate agents that is helping assisting students to get new house or apartment this doesn't take much time and get your commission.

Those are very good suggestions. But out of all these what I think will sell the most is fast food. I remember when a fellow student in the department will bring all sorts of snacks and small chops to the school and she will always sell them all before she go home. When I heard how much she makes everyday I was shocked, that was how she made her own money low-key. So if you can go into small chops or fast food you can never go wrong, because students always eat.

School can be a great time to explore entrepreneurship. And there are plenty of different business opportunities that students can start without a lot of upfront expense or time commitment. Nice list, also add app developer, tech support provider etc.

Small chops is a kind of business that can always fetch you money no matter your gender... We did valentine party at my hostel and the caterer that did cupcakes for us was a male... And he did 6 for 2k and we ordered for 6 in 6 places... I was surprised when I saw the cake... Nothing too fancy yet was so expensive... Doughnut and likes are also paying...

There are many opportunities to make money as a student but most would like to form rich when they are actually not. I worked as a fashion designer and makeup artist while I was in school and I made quite a reasonable amount of money for a student. I could get things for myself without stressing out my parents, and I was able to build my small customer base then.
