1). Student Housing: Assessing Your Options
Residence
On campus housing has the benefit of being, well, on campus. However, living in residence often costs much more than living on your own. Oftentimes when you live in residence, you have to buy into a meal plan that is fairly overpriced as well. However, there are benefits to living in residence: you can wake up for class ten minutes before class starts and still be on time!
If you have a meal plan when you are in residence, it means that your meals are prepared for you, which saves you the hassle and time of meal preparation.
2). Student Savings: Save Paper, Save Money
Did you know that North American academics are among the highest paper wasters in the world? If academics in China used as much paper as we do in North America, the world’s rainforest supply would be depleted within a year. You can choose to save paper, which is not only good for the environment, it’s also good for your wallet.
1. Double side everything.
3). Spend like a Student, Eat Like Royalty
You’re moving away from home, maybe for the first time. Money is tight and your stomach is empty, and your parents aren’t even around to cook you dinner. Here are some hints on how to eat a diet that is healthy both for your body and for your wallet.
1. Eat at home.
It might be exam time, you might be stressed, and you might not think that you have time to make dinner.
4). Scholarships, Bursaries, and Grants: How to Pay for School
You want to go to college or university. You want to get a fantastic, well-paying job. In the meantime, however, you are stuck with a bill for thousands of dollars. Where are you going to get the money?
Get a Scholarship
You can get scholarships for many different things. Some scholarships are available through academic achievement. Other scholarships are available for sports.
5). Creating an Emergency Fund
It is best to plan for an emergency before it happens. You should start an emergency fund that contains at least three months’ living expenses. Note that this is not just three months’ rent, but three months’ worth of money to cover all of your expenses: rent, utilities, car payments, daycare, groceries…everything.
Emergency money has to be something that you can access in an emergency.
6). Use the Internet to Save you Money
The internet is one of the most important and easiest-to-use tools of our time. Using the internet wisely can help you save time and money.
But what if I can’t afford the internet at home?
You can always access the internet from your public library, your school library, or a friend’s house. If you plan to spend long hours on the internet, consider going to the local college to use their computer lab.
