This is some good advice. There are a lot of things that you really don’t need and identifying these can really help you save money. Figuring out what is an essential need and what is a comfort can be hard for students though.

In regards to the wireless internet on campus, I have had pretty good experiences at several different schools. I have never had any major problems, not just for surfing around anyway, and there were always lots of people using it.

When I was in college another great tip is to NOT sign up for those credit cards that they offer. I made the mistake of doing this. I racked up just a little debt and they pin you with huge fees and interest rate charges.

All good suggestions except the third one. You’d be very surprised to learn how poor wi-fi accessibility (and speed) is at many major institutions. I’ve cut back on everything but the Internet because of this, and I can’t recommend students do this unless their school provides adequate Internet services.
