I am the mom of a college student and I write a money-saving website that college students love. I post the free meal deals, best textbook comparison site (sell back those textbooks) free Redbox codes, movie ticket discounts, legit work from home jobs, where to find tutoring jobs, and so much more, My site is called More With Less Today, stop by and stretch those resources!

I know it's unavoidable to make debts as a student unless you have really rich parents. When I graduated I also had to pay back my debts. It's really frustrating. Maybe an additional tip for saving money is to barter. If bartering would have been that popular when I was in college I definitely would take advantage of it. On sites like barterquest.com you can barter furniture or text books for other stuff that you might need during your college time. I know it doesn't help you to pay back your debts but it helps you to save money and thereby maybe you don't need to make debts.
