As the cost of college continues to rise and private loan options cut-back, more students are paying their tuition bills with credit cards. The result? Average students will leave college with $2,600 in credit card debt. Like you don't have other things to worry about after graduating: like getting a job.
Putting your tuition on a credit card is the worst thing you can do.
When you rack up consumer debt on top of your student loans, you're just asking for trouble, and hurting yourself in the long run.
Paying for college requires a bit of foresight and some planning, but you can find alternative ways of paying for school--without racking up debt. Pursue scholarships early, ask for micro-loans from friends and family, be creative.
