How can I make the best financial decisions for college?
By this question I mean staying in dorms or off campus, having a part-time, full-time job or no job at all? How can I ensure I'm using my savings to the fullest?

Hi Caroline,
I suggest living on campus during your first year to get familiar with the campus layout. It's also best not to work during this time so you can see how challenging your classes are. Once you’re comfortable with your studies, you can think about working part-time. Full-time work can be tough, but some people manage it with full-time classes. Later, consider moving off-campus with friends to save money, as it's usually cheaper than on-campus housing.
