Advice
for College Freshmen
An entire new life experience awaits you in college. It’s important to begin your college career right. Here a few tips for incoming college freshman.
Property
Insurance
Students who maintain legal residence with their parents may be covered by their family’s homeowners’ policy for loss of personal property while living in college residence halls; ask your family’s insurance agent if you’re covered under your current policy.
Student
Credit Card
You should set up a credit card in your name with a local bank or major credit card company. A credit card is handy for covering some expenses while waiting for money from your job or parents and makes it easy to purchase online items such as airline tickets.
Banking-Students
You should set up accounts (checking and savings) at a bank local to your college. Your accounts should be at the same bank that owns the on-campus ATM so you won’t be charged a service fee for using the ATM. Also, sign up for online banking.
