Why should I worry about my credit in college?
I do not claim to be an expert in finance, but I have always been told that it’s a good idea to keep your credit score up by paying your bills on time and managing your loans and other debt well. I do know that great credit scores can help when you are being reviewed down the road for home or auto loans, and it plays a huge part in your mortgage. But, for all of the specifics on credit scores and personal finances, I would do some research or even ask one of your finance or accounting professors after class – Hint: This is also a great way to build relationships down the road for grad school and other things!
