Hello all! My friends over at BankRate.com recently published a really helpful article discussing the importance of building to build a strong credit foundation (outside of student loans) while you are in college. I have discussed this here on the site previously, and is a huge piece of my Dollar Camp Program; but they offer some additional insight such as: Opening a Student-Level credit card, not applying for too many at one time, looking to obtain a co-signer and a bunch of great responsibility tips.
Check it out. There's some really great literacy in the piece. I know that some of you I have spoken with will be taking a hiatus this Fall, but as a side note please remember to be mindful of any outstanding loans as they will go into repayment 6 months after your LDA (Last Date of Attendence.) So for instance if your last day was May 15, you're looking at mid- November. Please contact your lender regarding deferment and forbearance options!
Stay safe!
