Use student discounts: Many stores, restaurants, and transportation services offer discounts to students. Take advantage of these deals and save some money.

Cook at home: Eating out can quickly add up. Cooking at home can save you money and also be healthier.

Use public transportation: If available, use public transit to save money on gas and parking fees. If you aren’t going too far, walking or biking is another good alternative to driving.

Take advantage of free events: Many events and activities on campus are free for students. Attend these events and save money on entertainment.

Get a part-time job: A part-time job can provide extra income to pay for expenses. It is also great to have on your resume!
