Top Hacks to Save Money in College/University!

College is expensive, find a way to save money. Whether you're stretching your dollar at the bar or looking to skip out on a textbook, you've come to the right place.

1. Textbooks

Most people fail to realize that your campus book store doubles as a library. Aside from shorter borrowing time and stricter preservation rules, they aren't that different. Many stores allow for a return period. Upon purchasing the text, simply review the content needed for the week and return it before your temporary possession session runs out to receive a full refund. For those enrolled in English, in particular, fiction courses, your local library may, in fact, own this content.

2. Course Load

Looking to decrease or eliminate the existence of loans on behalf of the bank or government? Simply decrease your course load while increasing your income. In reference to my Canadian tuition, I find myself paying approximately $700 for a course. Although most students enroll in five courses a semester a smarter move may be three or four. The money saved from the dropped courses would be able to assist the tuition for the next year and provide more spending money.

3. Alcohol Hacks

In particular reference to my regional location, I have already published an article regarding low prices for alcohol in the Maritimes, specializing in beer. My article is attached below. For Canadian students, pre-drinking decreases the amount of funds spent at the bar. A belligerent state will result in a refusal at the door of the club or bar, however, maintaining a decent buzz accompanied by several drinks upon entry will make for a great night. Although I'm unable to give advice to other sections of the country, the procedures listed above should work when applied in the Maritimes.
