A tip for you: how to save as a college/university student?

As students, there are certainly many expenses that we need to pay such as residential college fees, fees per semester, transportation, food and so on. Therefore, students should be smart in spending to always stay within the budget.

Some of the ways for university students to spend well are;

1. Buy or rent used books. Students can get used books from students last semester or from the library. In this way, students do not need to spend a lot of money to buy new books that will be used in one semester only.
   Take advantage of student discounts. This has been enforced to help students by offering reasonable prices. This offer is available at most fast food restaurants and movie theaters. So don't miss this opportunity to spend half price as a student.
2. Avoid buying excessive mineral water, students can fill water from the water machine that has been provided. This is because the university has provided water machines like Coway in each residential college and in the faculties that have been set. In this way, students can save money from buying mineral water every day.
3. Cook your own food and avoid always buying outside food. Self-cooking is more healthy and nutritious, students can maintain good body health and also be able to attend every class or exam. In addition, you can also cook food for your roommate and save money together.
