Starting college can be one of the biggest changes in your life. It may be the
first time you will live on your own - and handle your own finances. Some of the
most valuable (and hardest) lessons you will learn won't come from a book. Life
skills are learned from experience. And as long as you're able to plan ahead and
take charge of your money, the financial skills you learn will benefit you for
the rest of your life.
