If you are in college, you are usually on a tight budget. Here are some of the best ways to save money on campus.
- Stick to the typical college diet
- Don't buy new textbooks, instead use other cheaper methods.
- Don't Drive - With everything you need within walking distance, there is no need to waste gas or lose that precious parking spot.
- Don't use credit cards
- Utilize Free Internet - Either from your school or other wireless connections in the area.
- Manage Cell Phone minutes - go easy on your peak minutes to keep that bill lower. Maybe even start using cheaper VoIP services.
- Get scholarships to pay for tuition. The more college scholarships you get, the less you'll have to spend.
- Take the maximum allowed credits per quarter and get most out of your tuition.
- Student Discounts - Shop at stores and restaurants that give a student discount w/student ID.
- Use school resources - Colleges have video equipment, computers, books, etc for your use.
