It’s easier than ever for today for college students to be flat broke. With tuition climbing at Universities nationally and students unable to get all of the money they need from student loans, an increasing need for students to have access to technology, many college students don’t have much left over every month. Only 43 percent of university students earn around $757 a month from jobs and their parents. A whopping 75 percent earn an average of $645, with plenty of expenses on top of tuition payments. Roughly 90 percent own a computer and 77 percent own cell phones. In an effort make their money stretch, students are looking into more affordable options for higher education.
