Student Money

Student money concerns are becoming increasingly important, as students are leaving university with more and more debt and struggling to get out of it.

There are a growing number of incentives given by banks and credit card companies to take out credit with little thought for the potential consequences, but it is important that students take their finances seriously, and try not to get into more debt than is absolutely necessary. This is becoming increasingly difficult due to tuition fees and living costs, but there are various resources and funds available, so do a bit of research and find out what help is available to you.

Some tips on managing student money problems effectively include:

• Use your student loan and maintenance grant effectively
• Save money by getting student car, contents and travel insurance
• Research what funding, grants and bursaries are available to you
• Student bank accounts offer benefits such as interest-free overdrafts
• Practice good student financial planning; set a budget and stick to it
• If you do have student debts, then investigate ways of getting out of it by talking to your bank and financial aid office

It you take your student money responsibilities seriously, then you can avoid accumulating huge debts by the time you graduate and not spend you university career worrying about money.
