How College Students Can Use Credit Cards Wisely
7/24/2006

A July 19, 2006 CNN/Money article outlines steps that college students can take to use credit cards responsibly. Topics discussed include selecting cards with low interest rates and no annual fees, having only one credit card, avoiding the use of credit cards for basic expenses, and paying the balance in full each month. The article also mentions that, for parents who do not want their college student to have a credit card in their own name, adding the student as an approved user on the parent's account might be an option.

The article is available at the CNN/Money Web site.
