How Do I Live on a Budget at College?

This might be the first time you’re managing your own money, but that doesn’t mean it has to be difficult. We’re going over how to budget your money and practice smart spending habits. It is important to plan ahead for the indirect costs, like books and transportation, you’ll have to cover, too. Get to know what kind of financial tools are available to you. And when in doubt, go to the financial aid office for help.
