Now is the perfect time to try to get some experience. In my opinion it would be the best thing you could do with your last year in school. Glad you liked it.

Today, I'm putting money in my IRA, working in a field related to my degree and paying off debts. I'm looking to buy a home this year and am saving every penny! I've also started working with companies that offer incentives, such as Taylor Morrison (<a href="http://dreambig.taylormorrison.com/?utm_source=bc" rel="nofollow">http://dreambig.taylormorrison.com/?utm_source=bc</a>), toward the purchase of my dream home. They've been extraordinarily helpful throughout the process and hopefully I can move in this summer!

I have too many loans, and they're not even private. <BR> My wife has an awful private loan...they make everything a pain in the neck to do. If she pays more than the minimum payment one month, they won't send her a bill the next. After we pay off our credit card debt, we're going to tackle her private loans. <BR> I agree that there should be a mandatory basic finance class. My college had a one hour class that they make all freshman take, but it didn't even mention money once. I can imagine Doctor S. I have too many loans, and they’re not even private.

I wish I had a personal finance class freshman year, if I knew then what I know now, it would be a much better life for me right now. Compounding interest is a b%tch.

I made the mistake of staying on campus for four years, even though I only lived 25 minutes away. Most of my student loan debt is from housing, and the worst part is that I was paying way too much to stay in some pretty crappy apartments. <BR> I completely agree that freshman should have to take a mandatory personal finance class. Even a one credit hour course could help many people from making mistakes that will take years to recover from. Plus I figure its the least that colleges can do if they're going to allow credit card marketers on campus. Hi Vik,

One of the biggest mistakes kids make in college is that they need to stay at the dorms. This is especially true when you live 20 mins away from the college. Just stay at home and save that money. I think it should be mandatory that every student in college take a class on personal finance. Great article. One of the biggest mistakes kids make in college is that they need to stay at the dorms.
