What is the best way to manage finances while being in college?

My worst fear is being in a devastating amount of debt. Should I invest my money into a 529 Savings Plan? In addition, what is the best type of student loan to take out that won't plunge me into a financial crisis? Thanks!

What made taking on the debt worth it as opposed to going to a university that offers a full ride?

I have to decide between attending a school close to where I live for a full ride or my dream school that hasn't provided enough aid. I've heard a lot of arguements explaining why I should take the full ride, but I really hope to attend my dream school
