Some may say that college debt is good debt because it is an investment for your future. Others might even argue that you should be happy that you are making an lifetime investement for your future. Well guess what people, I do not think so at all. Everyone wants to argue about the benefits of a student loan and how it is so beneficial but what about the other expenses that comes along with being a college student. I have created a list below that most college students might not always include into their everyday debt collection pot. Some may say that these expenses are not that bad but when you a college student with banks throwing credit cards all up and down your hallways, then you will learn that effect of the gift of being a college student in debt.
- Toilet Tissue – Avg. 3.33 per 4 rolls – 1 roll every three days equals to 4.16 per week x 16 weeks in a semester equals to about 66.64 per semester on tissue.
- Public Transportation Avg. 1.75 per trip – think about using PT three times a week which comes out to 10.50 per week x 16 weeks which equals 168.00 per semester on transportation
- Going Out Avg 10.00 per outing- In college you do not want to spend all your time on campus so you will want to explore your surrounds at 10 per outing x 16 weeks you are coughing out 160.00 per semester (And this is being cheap)
- Campus Involvment Avg 2.00 per fundrasier- You are going to find the club or organization on campus that you are goin gto feel strongly about so be ready to donate, give and buy tickets you are gpoing to want to save at 40.00 per semester
- Campus Gear 35.00 per article- Everyone wants to show school pride and you want to make sure that people know where you go and why you go there so at 35.00 Avg per artcle you need to at least save 100.00 per semester to stay hip
Now since you have a base ground of what you might be spending your money on make sure that this gift of being in debt is worth it, make the best of it and enjoy your college career.
