Beyond the cost of college tuition, there are also books, housing, entertainment, transportation, and food to pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it\u2019s possible to avoid the stress of falling short on cash while you\u2019re a student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re probably feeling pretty skeptical right now. How are you supposed to save money when expenses lurk around every corner? Don\u2019t fret\u2014all it takes is a little savvy spending and you\u2019ll be scoring deals and college savings all around campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve put together this quick, simple guide to show you how to save money in college while also having a fun, fulfilling experience \u2013&nbsp;no ramen noodles involved. Keep reading to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_that_Student_ID\"><\/span>#1 Use that Student ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your student ID is your magic passport to savings both on and off-campus. Local stores, restaurants, museums, and movie theaters often offer student discounts. You can even get deals on electronics like laptops and cellphones with your ID.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, where does your ID function like a coupon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many higher education institutions have a list of places that give discounts on the student life webpage. It also never hurts to ask if there\u2019s a student discount available when you\u2019re out on the town or shopping for necessities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_661389871.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1874\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_661389871.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_661389871-700x410.jpg 700w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_661389871-768x449.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_661389871-250x146.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Stop_Paying_Full_Price_for_Textbooks\"><\/span>#2 Stop Paying Full Price for Textbooks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your college campus bookstore is convenient because it\u2019s right there on campus and has the books you need in stock. However, you\u2019ll pay a hefty premium for this convenience. Instead of buying new textbooks from the bookstore, you can save a huge chunk of money by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Renting your textbooks<\/strong> \u2013 Depending on the textbook rental service you use, you can save up to 80% on books by renting instead of buying. While there are some books you\u2019ll want to keep, such as those related to your major, most will only be used for one class. Why pay full price for a book you won\u2019t ever crack again?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Buying used textbooks<\/strong> \u2013 If there\u2019s a book you know you\u2019ll reference even after you finish the class, go ahead and buy a used copy. It\u2019s not as cheap as renting, but will still save you money over buying a new copy. It\u2019s also better for the environment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to see if your student ID confers an additional discount at your used bookstore of choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Get_into_Vintage_Shopping\"><\/span>#3 Get into Vintage Shopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Textbooks aren\u2019t the only thing you can save on by buying used. A quick search online will present you with oodles of options for gently-loved furniture, school supply items, clothing, dishes, cooking utensils, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most college campuses have thrift stores nearby. Not only will you stick to your budget and feed a spending habit, but you\u2019ll also find some amazing deals on fun vintage outfits to impress your classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Bring_a_Bike\"><\/span>#4 Bring a Bike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting off campus has its perks. If you\u2019re looking to beef up your bank account, stop shopping for necessities at the student center and head into town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hitting the grocery store to stock up on snacks instead of impulse shopping from vending machines or coffee shops is one of the easy ways to save money. While you\u2019re at it, buy toiletries and school supplies at the local pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to get around while you\u2019re in school? Instead of bringing your car to campus or spending money on expensive Lyfts, invest in a bike. You\u2019ll save on car costs (and have a convenient way to get to class if you happen to sleep in every so often). The additional exercise is an added bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_1079701271.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1873\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_1079701271.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_1079701271-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_1079701271-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_1079701271-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Utilize_Campus_Services\"><\/span>#5 Utilize Campus Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">College campuses are hives of useful services. You pay for these with your tuition, so use them! Some awesome things you can find on many campuses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Free printing in the library or computer lab<\/li><li>Free tutoring<\/li><li>Free access to the campus gym<\/li><li>Fun, free events such as movies, comedy shows, guest speakers, game nights, and more<\/li><li>Cosmetology students offering discounted beauty services<\/li><li>Free food<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Find_a_Roommate_or_Two\"><\/span>#6 Find a Roommate (or Two)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most students live on campus for their first two years of college. After that, many choose to navigate the world of off-campus housing. Having a roommate (or several roommates) will cut your living expenses significantly. You can split the costs of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rent<\/li><li>Groceries<\/li><li>Utilities<\/li><li>Streaming services<\/li><li>Internet<\/li><li>Cleaning supplies<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important tip? Before moving, establish clear expectations for splitting costs. You don\u2019t want to be left footing the bill if someone isn&#8217;t spending money on their share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Know_the_Academic_Rules\"><\/span>#7 Know the Academic Rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speak with your advisor to find out if you can save money and time by testing out of some of your general education requirements. CLEP tests are one of the most common ways students get ahead, taking a test instead of devoting hours and thousands of dollars to a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to save money on general education classes is to take them at a community college. Just make sure you can transfer the college credit and use them toward your degree. You\u2019re going to have to take these classes, so you might as well save money while doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save_More_with_RebateKey\"><\/span>Save More with RebateKey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See a pattern?
