DO NOT waste money on ATM fees. Make sure there are a couple of places around town where you can get cash for free.

If you have to take out money for loans it is good to start working on the principal before you graduate.

Have fun and all that, but if you can grab a little skrilla on the regular to put towards your loans, future Greg will thank you.

Some student loans don't accrue interest until 6 months after you graduate so, in that case, it would make more sense to put the money in an interest bearing account until you leave school.

^Might want to start another thread for how to make the bookoo dollars. Sounds like The Lady Gooch might have some expert knowledge.

Even if you don't need loans, if you qualify for the kind that don't accrue interest until later then you can take the money and put it in an interest bearing account. Just make sure not to spend that money and to pay it off real quick after graduation.

This is good theoretical advice but likely wouldn't provide much net benefit and for people not great with money would probably backfire.

Just don't be like the guys in my frat who bought big screens and xboxs with their extra loan money. Turn around and put that towards the principal, or mrs. Gooch's fancy bank account thing.

Find some place that you can show up to early for a dinner special and have beers. We used to go to some shithole north and east of the stadium for $5 steaks and $5 pitchers. Never carded us once and we usually ended up staying the whole night pounding pitchers.

The 70's sound great

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

If you live in the dorms only live there the first year, get a house or apartment after.

Remember to take your contacts out before you pass out and chug a bottle of water after a great night of pak'n

Don't worry about getting straight A's, you will become a more well rounded person if you get B's and C's and grow as a person instead of spending every night at Hale

I did this my last year and immediately put it in a 9 month CD. I graduated, cashed the CD, immediately paid back the loan, and gave myself a $550 graduation gift. Of course, interest rates were higher then.
