True Color Acrylics Phthalo Green Pint Jar(500ml)

True Color Acrylics Phthalo Green Pint Jar(500ml)TrueColor Artist Acrylics TrueColor is a good quality artist paint at an excellent price. This line is aimed at the budget conscious artist who cannot spend top dollar for their paint but does not want to sacrifice quality. TrueColor is made with all artist quality materials including lightfast pigments and 100% pure acrylic polymer emulsion. The reason TrueColor has such an attractive price is because of reduced pigment loading as compared with traditional artist paint. This is not the same as a student acrylic paint where the low price is due not only to a dramatic reduction in pigment but also the use of extender pigments (fillers) and low cost polymers. TrueColor brushes on smoothly and has a thick buttery feel and gives the painter the ability to create high peaks and bold impasto. What this means for the artist is that they have a paint that has the consistency and permanence of a high-end paint but without the high end price tag. Offered in economical 16.9 fluid ounce jars! The more expensive colors like Cadmiums Cerulean and Cobalt are noted as Hue Colors. Hue Colors mean that the color straight from the jar is an exact color match to the genuine color but because it is made from a less expensive pigment it costs less. It is important to note that a Hue color will not mix the same as the genuine color.

Great Cheap Dinner Ideas For Students


When you think of student meals you are often reminded of ramen noodles and cold pizza, it doesn't have to be that way. And in fact before your kids go off to school take the time to teach them how to eat healthy on a budget and often not much more than a microwave. One of the best ways to do this is to teach them how to save money. There are many options for healthy frozen meal options and if you teach them how to save on these items they are part of the way through the battle. Grocery coupons are a great way to save money on the items you need to get through the years away from home and a real kitchen.

Couponing has been around for decades and is being offered by companies now more than ever as families and students need relief from rising food costs and shrinking wages and financial aid. By taking just a little time every Sunday morning you can find savings on just about everything you need to get through the week.

You should also take the time to learn a bit about the grocery sales trends and know when items are at their lowest and stock up on them at that point. You will then save money by not having to purchase them at a premium when you run out. Coupons can also be printed from online sources and downloaded onto store membership cards for paperless, instant savings. These are just some of the ways the coupon industry is revolutionizing how we save at the register. Take the time to learn about these methods and you will be able to afford to eat healthy while attending school. The better you eat, the better you perform in class.

Grocery coupons offer the savings you need and the time it takes to clip them is well worth the money you can save when trying to live on a student budget. You can also shop and share with other classmates or roommates to save even more by buying in bulk or at warehouse clubs. If you are determined to eat healthy, there is a way and grocery coupons can help you get there.








There are many ways to save money on your monthly food budget, and using grocery store coupons is easy-- and the savings can quickly add up! Visit our website for more detailed information on how you can save money with grocery coupons: http://GroceryCouponsSaveMoney.com

Style On A College Budget


College living....isn't it great? Freedom from the parents, new friends, and always something to do. This may be the case, but not everything about living on your own is great. You start off the year by going to class everyday looking great. As the year goes on, you eventually role out of bed and go to class in whatever you happen to be wearing. It's hard trying to be fashionable when you're on a limited income.

Once in college, there are no more days of mom taking you shopping. Your parents want you to experience the real world, so they don't help out too much in the financial department. You do have money, but it ends up getting spent on late night food runs and partying. Eventually you gain that freshman fifteen, and now you don't even want to go shopping because you don't want to see yourself in the mirror. Sweatshirts and pajama pants become your best friend.

It doesn't have to be this way. There are many things that you can do to still look great on a limited budget. Thrift stores are a great way to find stylish clothes with little money. They offer a variety of unique apparel. Fashion is constantly changing, and we seem to always go back to styles that were popular in the past. You may find something at a cheap price that was in style long ago, and is now is the latest trend.

There are also stores that buy gently used clothing and then sell it for reasonable prices. Most of the time these stores only take merchandise that is in very good shape and still in style, so you can find many things for your wardrobe at fair prices.

Just because you don't have money doesn't mean you can't look great. You don't even have to buy anything new to pull off trendy styles. Using what you already have in your wardrobe is one way to save money. Mixing and matching layers and turning shirts into dresses by adding belts are different ways to make whole new outfits.

Hopefully you see that you can look great in college, and still have money left to have fun. Being stylish doesn't require you to be rich; you just have to get creative.

Student Accommodation - Where to Live Whilst at University


Where you live makes a huge impact on the quality of your student experience. The friends you make in the first year are frequently the ones you keep, and where you live plays a large part in meeting them. Accommodation is expensive; it is difficult to over-estimate the impact of your accommodation on your total student budget.

Most universities house you for the first year - although some have very little accommodation and a very few universities (for example, Oxford and Cambridge) house almost all students for their whole course. There may be university halls (on or off campus), university-owned or managed local houses or other properties, some universities sub-contract student housing to a private company, use local private halls or private-sector housing - or a mixture of all of these.

University Accommodation

Go for living in university housing if you can. Standards and rents vary but it is easier to make friends, you have more clout with the landlord and it may be closer to the students' union and teaching areas.

What is Available?

Usually you have a choice of rooms in different halls at different rents. Traditional halls are based on corridors; modern halls are usually clustered in flats and some rooms may have en-suite bathrooms (although the rent will be higher than for a shared room in a 1960s block). Most university accommodation is self-catered but catered halls are an option at some universities.

Check the university profiles in the University Search for a summary of what each university offers and the university website for detailed descriptions of each hall of residence. Go and see the accommodation you are applying for, if at all possible. And find out what is supplied before you arrive and what you need to bring for example, your own bedding.

How much will it cost?

From around 55 pounds a week for something basic in a cheap area, to 120 pounds per week for an en-suite room with broadband connection in swish new halls somewhere pricier. The university profiles (see the University Search) tell you how much (roughly) it costs at each university and, crucially, how many weeks your contract runs for.

You may have a term-time contract (perhaps having to move out over the Christmas and Easter vacations), which is fine if you have a home to go to in the holidays. Other contracts are for the 36-40 weeks of the academic year (best if you want a base for most of the year and plan to travel in the summer). Some are for the full 52 weeks - a must for those with a family or with no other home but a great waste of money for others.

How do you apply for student accommodation?

It usually involves filling in yet another form - increasingly online. And you may be asked to write a short personal statement or answer questions (for example, about your interests or whether you smoke) so the accommodation office can attempt to group compatible students together. Make sure you get your application in well before the closing date - some accommodation is allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Private Accommodation

In some cities with lots of students, there are commercial student halls managed by private companies for example, Unite. They are usually central and purpose-built, and you may share with students from a number of other universities in the city.

Renting a student house/flat

When you need to rent privately, the university accommodation service will almost certainly help and, if you are lucky, may also have vetted the accommodation on its lists. Colleges without first-year accommodation sometimes organise 'housing days', where new students come and meet each other and local estate agents to sort out house-shares. There is much information about local prices on our university profiles; also look at some of the national websites covering major student cities (studentpad). (accommodationforstudents); and for London, try the joint London universities' site, studenthousing.lon.

Cheap rented accommodation is harder to find in leafy suburbs or holiday areas (where term starts before the holidaymakers go home). Self-catering accommodation is usually cheaper, so long as you know how to feed yourself cheaply. Remember to add in the travel costs when assessing rents (no point in something dirt cheap if it costs a fortune getting to lectures).

There is a lot to think about when looking at accommodation (and you must look). Here are a few

pointers to start you off.

- Security - is it in an area where you will be able to get burglary insurance; is it on a bus/tube route; and will you feel safe walking home from your nearest stop?

- Electricity/gas/water safety - sockets, pipes, wiring and appliances - do they look safe and regularly serviced? Particularly look at gas water heaters and fires; landlords now have to have gas appliances serviced annually and provide you with proof of this. (If you are concerned about a gas appliance, the Health and Safety Executive runs a carbon monoxide advice line, 0800 300 363 or via the website)

- Fire safety - smoke alarms, exits, windows and doors.

- Damp - any sign of it? Ventilation.

- Vermin and pests - signs, smell etc.

- TV licence - has it been paid? If not, it is legally down to you.

Get yourself sorted before the start of term if you possibly can; you will be at a long-term disadvantage if the course starts while you are still sleeping on friends' floors.

Living at Home

If it's close enough, it will almost certainly be cheaper to live at home. But you may miss out on some of the social facilities and be less involved in student life. You should move out if you do not have proper study facilities - a room of your own as a start.

Buying

Some mortgage companies have special packages for students who can afford to buy a flat or house and sublet rooms. You may need a parent to act as guarantor. Alternatively, some parents find that buying a house or flat is the most cost-effective way of making their parental contribution.

Squatting and other options

If all else fails, renting a caravan can be an option in some rural areas. Or you may be able to join student squatters (except in Scotland); whilst still legal, the law needs watching. You can get a copy of The Squatters' Handbook and advice from the Advisory Service for Squatters (squatter org). You can also visit the Squatters Advisory Centre which is in Whitechapel, London. They will be able to give you good advice and help you find other people who are squatting too.








Student Book is a website for prospective and current students. It offers a university comparison tool and a wealth of information on the ins and outs of applying to university. The site is also a guide to student life with advice on finance, welfare, study skills, accommodation and a lot more. These are helpful, relevant and entertaining articles aimed at students and future students.

The Ultimate University and College Freshers Guide Part 2 - Eating on a Budget


You have made it through freshers week at university or college relatively unscathed. So what's the next hurdle in student life? Well trying to feed your self on a budget can be a daunting prospective never mind actually cooking. The main advice is eating is essential! You may think that you can survive on booze and coffee but eventually you'll be ill.

Food for many of you will be something that you have just taken for granted. You come home from school/college/work and there is a dinner waiting for you, you get up in the morning and there is cereal in the cupboard and milk in the fridge. So feeding yourself may come as a bit of a shock when you first arrive at University or College. You may think you can get by with biscuits and take-away but, depending on how flush you are, you will eventually run out of money and have to cook. But, fear not, because the following pages contain some fantastic advice on how to eat on a budget.

Shopping

Students pride themselves on knowing where to buy the cheapest beans, bread and margarine. You may think students eating beans on toast is a bit of a cliché but this is just about the cheapest way to fill yourself up.

Look for "value", "smart price" or "no frills" ranges they don't taste quite as good as the leading brand but they don't cost anywhere near the same.

Find out when your local supermarket closes! Because just before it closes they will be selling off stock that expires that day on the cheap. Also get to know where the "specials" are in your local and buy these as often as you can.

It pays not to be too fussy when it come to food. Don't go shopping with a set idea of what you want to eat, make a list of the basics you need and then be flexible with the rest buy what is cheap! That way your diet is varied.

Utensils

Jamie Oliver may have a kitchen full of pans, knives, funky crockery, whisks, spatulas, mandolins and blowtorches but students don't & you don't need them!

You can get by with a heavy frying pan, a saucepan, a stirring spoon, a spatula, a chopping board, a sharp knife, a bread knife, 2 big plates, 2 sets of cutlery, 2 large mug (large enough for serious cups of coffee or for a whole can of soup), 2 large wine glasses, 2 pint glasses, a salt grinder and a pepper grinder. This shouldn't cost much, well within your student budget

Basics: Having these things in you cupboard all the time will mean you can always make a meal in a hurry!

Flavourings: Sugar, salt (preferably sea-salt), pepper (as in peppercorns), garlic, chilli powder, coriander, mixed herbs and stock cubes (selection).

Consumables: Rice, pasta (shapes and spaghetti), bread, potatoes, onions, tinned tomatoes, tinned beans, tinned spaghetti, tinned soup, tinned tuna, tinned anchovies and tinned meat.

Fresh stuff: Carrots, cabbages, mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce and courgettes.

Fridge stuff: Cheese, margarine, Philadelphia, orange juice, beer, wine, vodka

Freezer stuff: Pizza, pies, chicken and frozen veg.

Cooking

Buy a good cookbook! Jamie Oliver's "Happy days" book is full of simple, comforting and quick dishes that are ideal for students, But unless you are Jamie Oliver or Delia Smith, start off with simple dishes and gradually learn what works and what doesn't.

Some flavours naturally go with some meats, chicken and lemon for instance but some combinations really don't work beef and lemon is a good example of a revolting combo!

Pasta is a freshers and students staple and goes with almost anything and is cheap and quick, but you will end up Over dosing on it!

If it doesn't go with pasta then it will go with rice!

Meat is expensive, so use lots of veg, which is also good for you, to bulk out your meals.

Soups can make very good pasta sauces or bases for stews.

Salads are very easy, very quick and very healthy. Also if you're a fresher with culinary or artistic flair they can look like you've been slaving over them for hours.

Roasting meat is a very good way of cooking food. It allows you to put your dinner in the oven and then retire to a comfy chair with a bottle of whatever but be careful not to get too drunk and forget the food is in the oven!

If any meals are included in the price of your accommodation try to get to them. If the food is bad then get it changed if they only serve breakfast till 8 o'clock then get the times changed. You are paying for a service so make sure the service works for you!

Finally, whatever your approach to cooking and eating at University, try new things. There will be people from all different backgrounds, regions and countries and they will be eating all manner of different things. Try them! University and college is a learning experience and not just in the academic sense.

And finally students have come across, as you will, some incredibly bizarre eating habits at University and college. Here are some of the strangest.

A student who ate this everyday and nothing else! 1 bowl of corn-flakes, semi-skimmed milk, a roast chicken, salad, hallumi cheese and diet coke he ate this for 3 years without change!

One girl fresher who ate only apples, biscuits and crisps for an entire first year

The student who lived on cuppa soup and lived.

Laptops For College Students


Laptops for college students are an absolute must. All students need a place to complete their work, and most colleges will now insist that all essays be typed up. However, the major problem lies in the fact that the student budget is often very small! This article will discuss a few tips on choosing the perfect laptop at a budget price.

Firstly you can take a look at the budget laptops offered by the major laptop manufacturers. Most will have models that can provide most of the things students will need, but at a minimal price tag. This price may be down to the fact that the laptop does not include gaming features or a wide variety of programs - but for most students, these simple laptops are perfect. Many even come with huge hard drive space and trendy designs.

For some students budget is less important than the fact that the laptop must be portable. If you will be travelling with your laptop or need to carry it to and from school then there are a number of ultra-light and ultra-portable laptops available to meet these requirements. These laptops will not compromise on computing performance, but you may find that they are more expensive than average sized laptops with similar specifications.

These are just a few of the options available when it comes to choosing laptops for students. There is also the option of buying second-hand, or going for a refurbished model. With a little research you will be amazed at just what's available at such a small price! Just an hour of research can help you discover a real bargain.

Student Credit Card - How To Choose The Right One


Getting a student credit card is not hard to do. The problem comes in how it is used. Your student should not be carrying large sums of cash each month to get through the month. It could easily be lost or stolen. I had a friend that was considered a genius. While we were at school he couldn't remember from one day to the next what he had done the previous day, or where he put anything, including his money. Another friend constantly ran out of money by the middle of the month and was either borrowing form other students or on the phone crying to his father about needing more. Not to say I was a saint, but that is another story.

A student credit card may be the first line of credit your child has. It will depend on the child if they understand the responsibilities of having one. Student credit cards can come with a monthly limit or with no limit at all except for the bank limit. You have a choice in that matter, because usually the student will need a co-signer for that card.

In a credit based family a child may have signature loans by the time they are twelve. My uncle was one of those people. They used a well known institution for signature loans and he would take out six month to one year loans for music equipment that he was easily able to pay back in half the time. By the time he was sixteen his credit rating soared and to this day he has no problems with getting what he wants when he wants it.

Most of us are not that lucky however, and some students just are not driven by desire. A student credit card should not be a gift and should not be considered a gift by the parents. The students themselves should be mentally-aware of how to handle finances. If your child is one of those that still has a quarter when you give them the second one a week later, then chances are they can handle a credit card. If it was lost or spent, you may need to start worrying.

For the sake of the article we will assume that, while yet unproven, there is no indication that your student will use the credit card for junk. First sit down with the student and decide what the credit card will be used for. Keep in mind that a cola and pizza a day adds up to over $4475 plus tips, in credit over a year! The sum does not take into consideration other meals and snacks. A single candy bar at a school could easily add up to $365 dollars in credit over a year, if they only ate one a day. Try to remember your eating habits when you were a student.

Dormitory, apartment rent, books and tuition should be paid by check. If there is a car involved it should also be paid for by check, unless you and your student are familiar with online banking and the great benefits a good system offers.

If you are giving support to your student you can setup an auto withdrawal from your bank account each month to payoff the student credit card payments. The credit card can be great for just about anything but it, just like everything else, needs to be in moderation, and I mean moderation within your budget, not necessarily the students budget.

After you have decided on what the credit card will be used for go online and start searching. Make sure you pay attention to the all of the details of the card, and all of its terms and conditions. Above all, make sure there is an automatic bill payment feature so the card is never paid late.

Bad Credit Student Loans - Get Approved Immediately


Are you a student who feels let down by the government financial aid and government student loans process? You probably have many needs that go unmet, and oftentimes students with bad credit do not qualify to borrow money under a private student loan structure. There are ways to borrow private student loan money without having a stellar credit score, however. A bad credit private student loan is your best bet.

Money For Student Expenses Beyond Grants and Government Loans

Students have a plethora of expenses, and as you likely know, even the most comprehensive financial aid package and loan package from your student aid office rarely covers all of the expenses that you have. Student expenses are soaring with each new school year. Books, tuition, computers, clothing, housing, meals, entertainment. Like everything else in the economy, student expenses are through the roof. Even if you are eligible for the maximum amount of aid, you still fall short.

Private student loans are not needs based like federal aid and loans are, but they are credit based. That means that you face difficulties when applying for this type of loan. However, student with bad credit can always apply with a creditworthy cosigner to secure it. This loan can be in amounts up to $30,000 a semester, which is money in addition to the grants and loans you already receive. Even if you have exhausted your Perkins or Stafford loan funds for the semester, you can apply for this loan any time of the year, even in the summer and between semesters.

Do You Have A Cosigner?

Your cosigner plays a very vital role in securing your bad credit student loan. Your cosigner can be your parent, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, or other relative or even a family friend. If you do not have a cosigner, there are alternative options that will allow you to apply by yourself. These loans will be written at greater amounts of interest, however, and in lesser amounts that you may need.

For this reason, having a cosigner is optimal, but you can always go it alone and borrow a lower amount of funds. Before applying alone on the private student loan application, you should always check your credit report to make sure that your credit is actually as bad as it looks. Are there erroneously reported items that you can dispute in order to raise your score? The majority of credit reports contain some errors, so check yours to make certain that it is accurate.

Being A Responsible Borrower

While private student loans do fill the broad gap that exists in student budgets, it is important to become a good borrower and put yourself on the road to financial freedom through good credit when you receive a loan for bad credit. Never borrow in excess of what you truly need. Although most private student loans do not require payment until many months after graduation, you should prepare in advance to become a good steward of your student loan payments by paying on time each and every month. These types of loans report to the credit reporting bureaus and can be a real asset as you build the type of credit that is needed to purchase a home or car in the future.

Questions and Answers About Starting a Home Business As a College Student


So you are a college student and you are thinking about starting a home business to help subsidize your low student budget or you have started one but are no re-thinking the whole process. I started a successful home business as a college student and I am still running it very profitably. Read on to find the answers to many of the questions I hear from college students. Read and learn how you can profit from a home business as a college student.

What kind of business is best for college students?

This is a great question and one that cannot be easily answered. There are basically three types which work well. First, an information products business where you sell info products such as ebooks online. Second, a network marketing business and third, another online business such as selling products on ebay. The type you choose really depends on your personality and personal preferences. Take some time to do your research and choose the one you think fits you best.

What about the money? Isn't it expensive to start a home business?

This is the number one reason why I recommend the options noted above. Most of these kinds of businesses can be started for less than $100 and maintained for less than $100 a month so they are very affordable and it is very easy to get into profit immediately. Furthermore, as a college student you have access to ways of getting funding you will not otherwise. You can use your student loans to pay for school and some money from your job to fund your business.

What about the time? Isn't a home business time consuming?

While they can be, if you plan well it can be done. From personal experience, I also noticed that you actually have more time as a college student than you will have later when you are working full time. Work on your time management skills and you will find the time to work on your home business if you want it bad enough.

Why Should college students start a home business?

As a student you are in the prime of life and if you start now while you are young, your business will grow and flourish throughout your life. You also have time and resources and are eligible for special discounts unavailable later in life. These advantages make it the perfect time for you to get started with a home business.

Why Students Need Insurance


Sometimes students do not see the need to cover their belongings. Living on a shoestring is a standard part of college or university life and many young people who do not yet have full-time or decently-paying jobs can feel it is not worth spending a few pounds a month for insurance.

They might also believe no burglar could possibly want their possessions, imagining them to be generally cheap and uninteresting.

Unfortunately, however, the official statistics show that young people and those who are in study are actually more likely to be targeted by criminals.

The Home Office's data indicates that people between the ages of 16 and 24 are three times likelier than others to be burgled.

Not only that, but students also have the most valuable consumer items compared to other groups of people.

If this surprises you, think about computers, games consoles, music players and so on.

While student possessions might be covered by their parents' home insurance, it is crucial to check this and buy additional cover if necessary to make sure all your possessions are protected.

A few pounds a month is a worthwhile investment, even on a student budget, to prevent the very real chance of having to replace some very expensive belongings.

Many student insurance policies are specially designed for their target market and are often very reasonably priced, as the insurers realise young people still in education are unlikely to have a lot of cash to spare.

See if you can add individual possessions to the policy, as this could work out cheaper than simple blanket cover.

Use a pen and paper to help you add up the real cost of your valuables and how much insurance you need - you may be surprised.

Of course, you should also protect both your policy and your belongings by using some Home Office advice for preventing theft.

Lock all doors and windows when you leave your house and never leave your hall of residence bedroom unlocked, even if you are not going far.

Note down the make, model and serial numbers of electrical goods and put your university initials and student number on to all of your property.

While it makes sense to be careful on a student budget, a few pounds a month could help prevent a much bigger payout later if the worst should happen.

Student Renters Insurance - Why It Is Important For College Students


Renters insurance is important for students, whether you are living in a dorm or renting a house with roommates. Many students are under the assumption that their landlord's home insurance will cover their belongings if they are damaged or stolen. However, your landlord receives compensation only for structural damages to the building or apartment you are renting. Should you experience a fire, water damage or theft and you're not covered by renters or apartment insurance, you will not be compensated for any of your possessions. That means you will have to replace your laptop, iPod, television, books, clothing and other possessions at your own expense. 

While your personal property is protected under your student renters insurance policy, experiencing damages from a natural disaster or theft can still be stressful. Fortunately, there are some preventive measures you can take to decrease your chances of experiencing damages or theft to your personal property, and potentially lower your insurance premium at the same time.

Ways to decrease your chances of theft or damage to personal property - Where you choose to rent can impact the likelihood of theft or damages to your personal property. When looking for an apartment or house, consider the following:


Look for an apartment or house with features such as a security system (which may decrease your student renters insurance premium), sturdy door locks, motion sensor outdoor lights and off-street parking.
Avoid large student apartment complexes that are known for having a "party" atmosphere - frequent and numerous visitors can increase the likelihood of theft or damage to personal property.
Choose an apartment higher than the ground floor to reduce your risk of a break-in.
Live with one to three roommates. Any more than that, and you may encounter an excessive amount of foot-traffic coming in and out of your living space. While having a few roommates is a good idea for safety reasons, living with a crowd of students can make you more likely to encounter problems, such as an accidental fire or theft from strangers.

Ways to stay safe - Be aware of your belongings and surroundings, at home as well as on campus.


Always lock your bicycle wherever you ride it and even in your garage.
Extinguish any candles or open flames when you exit the room.
Have a lock installed on your bedroom door.
Also, leave your valuable keepsakes at home! If you must bring them to school, buy a small, fireproof safe to store your jewelry, passport and other items that are difficult to replace.

Hopefully this helps to start the semester with confidence and reassurance that you're doing all you can to protect your belongings, and yourself. If you aren't yet covered by renters insurance, start browsing for renters insurance quotes at rates that meet your student budget.








Look for additional savings from an insurance company, like Nationwide Insurance, when you combine your renters insurance coverage with your auto insurance.

Why It Is A Great Idea To Get A Student Credit Card


If you happen to be a student or are a parent of a student you will want to read this article about the benefits of getting a Student Credit Card now while you are young and not through College yet.

Many of my son's friends are now getting out of school, have gotten good jobs and are wanting to move out on their own. Well, they all have one thing in common and that is no credit. It is very difficult to sign a lease on an apartment when they say you do not have enough credit and will need a co-signer. This also goes for a house or a car that you as a graduating student would like to now buy on your own with your large paycheck that you have worked so hard to get by going through school.

The problem is your parents probably did not want you to have a Credit Card in fear that you would not use it responsibly or just never thought about it. This is usually a false statement and most late teens and College Students can be very responsible in using a Credit Card if the parent sits down with them and explains the proper guidelines and rules to using a credit card to their benefit.

Many Student Credit Cards have low interest rates and no fees. Some have cash back and reward programs for everyday purchases. The key is to pay off the card each month and to learn how to plan and budget. The Credit Card can also be a good way to teach the Student budgeting and can help track their expenses each month so they can see where the money is going. It also provides a nice report that you as the parent can go through with them and give tips on planning and budgeting. You may learn something in the process!

The main reason is to build up their credit so that when they get out of College they will have some sort of good credit built up in order that they can get loans on their own for bigger ticket items. A Student Credit Card is a great way for them to establish this Credit History early and take on and learn to use them responsibly and to their advantage. There are many great Rewards programs using Student Credit Cards. Why not take advantage of this each month with items they normally have to purchase?

If you are in your last years of High School or a College Student talk to your parents or show them this Article and stress the importance of you getting a Credit Card now to build your Credit History. Just remember that the idea is that you build a good Credit History. Using it irresponsibly can hurt you and your credit history for years. With good planning and bill payment this won't happen to you!

Making the Best of Cheap International Student Flights


As a student, there are plenty of opportunities to travel and broaden your cultural horizons. Student work programs are frequently available between one country and another and the costs of a trip are often subsidized by universities and other institutions. Availing of cheap international student flights let you travel and broaden your horizons despite your limited student budget.

How the International Student Identity Card Helps you get Cheap International Student Flights

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is an internationally recognized student ID card; the only one of its kind. At about £9 sterling in the UK, it costs US $22 but the hike in price is because it comes with medical insurance for the American student.

Signing up for the ISIC means that you're a member of a club of nearly five million students an avail of cheap international student flights at a flash of the card.

A network of student services that are both affordable and specialized are available to the ISIC holder. However, even those who are not full time students can benefit from discounts through the International Youth Travel Card (IYTC) and the International Teacher Identity Card (ITIC) for those under twenty-six.

With the ISIC identification, you are recognized as a student. You have access to some 1,200 cheap international student flights, domestic flights, ferry journeys, bus rides, and numerous other discounts.

You also get to stay at discounted rates in many youth hostels and hotels around the world. Thousands of discounts can be had globally on museum entrance fees and admission to cultural sites and events, as well as entertainment attractions and venues.

Cheap International Student Flights: Why not Work to Pay off the Costs of Travel?

Let's face it: Fuel costs are rising, making the possibilities of travel less and less attractive. They are prohibitively expensive, even with discounted air fares and cheap international student flights. However, many countries run programs with other countries allowing students to visit and work. If you live in Pittsburgh and you want to visit somewhere like Europe, why not apply for a student work visa and e-mail your résumé to your intended destinations?

Europe is a one-stop region where you can find and visit amazing prehistoric and historic sites. While working in one country, you can save up and then visit other countries using cheap flights that cost a fraction of the transatlantic air fare. Ancient cultures are represented by landmark sites everywhere on the continent from Italy and Greece to Britain and Ireland.

Student programs will offer far more details rather than merely where to get your discounted cheap international student flights. You will be given advice on where to go at night (and more importantly, where not to go!). You will be told which parts of the country it is easier to find work. You can also get advice on accommodation and employment, making getting a job and a place to stay very easy. You'll also receive information on the cultural differences and the beliefs and traditions of the various nations so you don't make any embarrassing cultural gaffes.

In working in somewhere like Europe, you can learn about the culture from the inside out, rather than just the outside in, as a tourist would.

How To Choose College Student Car Insurance


A car to a college student is like treasure to a pirate. Having a car at college is a luxury that not many students get to have.

Most students ride their bikes or walk to class, but if you are one of the few who gets to drive to campus and take long trips on the weekend, then you have to be prepared for the responsibility of owning a car. And that means you have to be covered with student car insurance.

Besides tuition and books, car insurance for students is one of the biggest expenses a student will pay in college. But if you are careful about choosing your student auto insurance, you will be able to work the payments into your student budget and still manage to save money in your savings account.

The Basics of Student Car Insurance

Finding cheap car insurance for students can be difficult since younger drivers usually have higher premium payments to make. It has nothing to do with you personally, but young drivers just tend to make more insurance claims than older drivers, so insurance companies will charge you more so they can make more money.

There are also other factors that can affect the amount a student will pay for student car insurance, such as:


Age
Gender
Driving record
Location of vehicle
Damage history of vehicle
Distance driven daily

You can't avoid these factors when you are applying for student auto insurance, but there are many ways that you can lower your premium payments. You just need to take the right steps towards choosing your student insurance.

Tips for Choosing Your Student Car Insurance

You can't avoid being young and in college, but there are steps you can take to lower your student car insurance payments. And even though you want to find an insurance company that offers car insurance specifically for students, not all of them do, so if you can't get student car insurance, then follow these tips to get a cheaper car insurance plan:

Shop Around for Options

Find out as much information as you can for at least 3 different insurance companies. Compare their premium quotes and see who has the best benefits for your money.

Know Plan Basics

Knowing the basics of a student car insurance plan is very important in choosing the right kind of plan for your needs. Not all car insurance for students is the same, but the parts that make up the plan usually cover the same areas.

Here are the six basic parts of a student car insurance plan:

1) Bodily Injury - Covers you for bodily injury you might have caused to another person.

2) Personal Property Liability - Covers damage or injury you might have caused to another person's property.

3) Collision - Covers you for any type of accident with another car or with an object like a parking meter or a utility pole.

4) Comprehensive - Covers you in case someone steals your car or something in it, or the weather damages your car. It is best to get both of these types of student car insurance coverage.

5) Personal Injury Protection (PIP) - Covers medical costs and any lost wages from a job for the policy holder and any injured passengers.

6) Uninsured Motorist - Covers you for accidents with motorists who do not have car insurance. Also covers you for hit-and-run accidents.

Maintain Good Grades

Many insurance companies offer discounts to students who maintain a B average or higher. Make sure you bring proof of your grades when you apply for your car insurance.

Apply for all Discounts

Even if you get a student discount, always apply for any discount that the insurance company is offering. Most insurance companies will offer you a great deal if you purchase multiple insurance plans together, like car and renter's insurance, and they might even offer you a family discount if you sign up for the same insurance as your family members.

Buy the Right Car

Before you even get student car insurance, you need to get a car that is right for you. Car insurance is often based on a car's safety probability, so high speed sports cars and smaller cars have a greater risk of damage. They are also more likely to be targeted by thieves, so you should buy a more practical car with good gas mileage and reliability rather than a car that costs more than your entire student budget.

Walk or Bike More, Drive Less

Even if you have a car, that doesn't mean you have to use it everyday. If you live on campus and you're close to class, either walk or ride a bike and save on gas money. Some insurance companies will give you a low-mileage car insurance deduction if you drive below a certain number of miles each year, so save your long-distance car driving for the weekends.

Increase Your Deductible

If you increase your deductible - the amount you pay towards a claim before your insurance company pays - then you can save from 15% to 40% on your student car insurance premium.

Install Secure/Anti-Theft Devices

If your car's seat belts and airbags don't' work, you should get them fixed as soon as possible. Also, if you don't have an alarm system, get one installed. The safer you are against accidents and burglaries, then the less your car insurance company will have to pay and the less you'll have to pay to them.

Be a Safe Driver

The most important step you can take towards lowering your student auto insurance is to be a safe driver. The fewer driving violations and auto accidents that you have the more money you will save with your car insurance. That means you should never drink and drive, you should park your car in a safe area or in a garage and you should always maintain the proper speed limit.

College should be both a fun and safe experience, so if you have a car and use it as part of your daily routine, always have student car insurance for protection.

How to Prioritize Your Student Expenses


After going through the process of creating a student budget plan many people realize that they actually don't have enough money to pay for all of their student expenditures. To make up the difference many times people ignore their personal expenses. With a little planning, you can have what you need and save enough to meet your goals.

There are two easy ways to make this a reality, and they both start with prioritizing what's most important to your college student budget.

A little goes a long way

First of all, think about the little things you can cut back on to save dollars here and there. You may not need everything that you're spending your money on, but if absolutely don't want to give them up, then you don't have to. There are many ways you can lower your expenses to keep them affordable.

Follow these tips to cut down on student living expenses in your student budget:


Make a pot of coffee in the morning to go to kick a daily coffee expenditure

Go to your school's library to check out books and movies for free

Carry a snack with you so you won't be tempted to spend money in between classes

Avoid excessive text messaging

Lower the heat by a couple degrees or insulate your windows with plastic in the winter to save electricity

Try to borrow or buy used textbooks

If you go on many dates, choose places that are fun and free

Use a classroom or public access room to print out your papers so you can save money on buying new printer ink

Send emails to people instead of using up your cell phone minutes

Buy used CD's at a local record store instead of ordering them new online or at a major brand store

Use the local newspaper or the internet to find free concerts and events

If you love to eat, get friends to pitch in for a membership to Sam's Club or Costco

Get your hair cut at local barber shops instead of expensive salons

Switch your cell phone carrier to the one most of your family and friends use to benefit from more in-network calling

Avoid eating with large groups because if you decide to split the bill, you might have to pay more even if you ate less

If you have to pay for laundry, bring your own detergent and snacks instead of buying items from vending machines

Necessities or nice-to-haves?

The second thing you can do to get make your personal budget plan work for you is to consider eliminating some of the nice-to-have student living expenses that aren't really necessities. Yes, it may be cool to have the latest gizmos and gadgets from the world of electronics, but keeping it simple and basic will also keep you entertained.

Follow these tips to cut out the student expenses you don't need:


Ride a bike or catch the bus to class if you live off campus instead of driving a car and fighting expensive gas prices

Buy an affordable cell phone instead of the most expensive phone with all the latest technology that you might never use

If you need a computer, look for computers on sale with student discounts, rebates, and other free offers

Rent a studio apartment or live with roommates instead of trying to make it on your own too soon

Listen to free music stations on your computer instead of buying an expensive MP3 player

Watch your favorite cable television show in your neighbor's dorm room instead of paying for a huge cable bill each month

Use your school's free gym or work out at home instead of paying for a gym membership

Shop at stores that offer student discounts or at consignment stores instead of buying the most expensive brands

If you live off campus and need furniture, try a local thrift store over a major furniture store

Play free games on the internet instead of spending money on the latest video games and consoles

If you plan on going somewhere for summer vacation, shop ahead of time for special fares instead of buying tickets at the last minute

The bottom line is that you are in control of your financial health. A student budget will keep you on track and help you realize your goals. If you find your student expenses are more than your budget can handle, a college student loan or a student credit card for college can help you make up the difference.

Do not forget though that although the food may taste great, they are not bursting with vitamins and minerals to keep you healthy.

If you find it difficult to stay awake during classes, it may be due to your poor diet and not just the lecturer. There is a good probability you will be suffering from more coughs and colds than you did at home. Without the essential vitamins, minerals and proteins so often lacking in fast food you could be unwell.

The key to you fighting off illnesses is your immune system. This is fed, nurtured and supported by a regular intake of vitamins and minerals. Knowing this, you may be tempted to dash out and buy bottles of multivitamins, but really it is best to eat healthily instead and get them from there.

For example, vitamin C is found in many fruits, vitamin A in milk and wider dairy products and vitamin E is present in many nuts such as Brazil, walnuts and almonds. It is not too hard to eat some of these each day and top up your vitamin levels.

Do not fall into the trap of drinking sodas all the time. They may taste great but swap one or two for fruit juice instead. Sodas are full of chemicals, calories and sugar. Avoid the French fries and have vegetables instead. Or go for mashed potato or even salads sometimes.

You do not have to eat healthily all the time, thank goodness. If 80% of the time your diet is good, you can treat yourself a bit for the other 20%.
