118 Ways to Save Money in College #9

By http://www.scholarships-ar-us.org/

Transportation & Travel

Most of us have come to expect that we simply need to move around. Think foot power and you will already have taken steps to align yourself with a saving frame of mind.

79) Try to get an appartment which is close to campus.

80) Don’t take the car to campus. You will spend money on parking and gas, at the very least. Having no car will keep you closer to campus as well.

81) Walk, bike, roller blade, skateboard your way around town.

82) Public transportation is cheap, too.

At some point it’s likely you will have to decide the best and least expensive route from point A to point B. It may be national or international, but you always have a cheaper choice.


83) Save money by doing the least amount of traveling necessary. Road trips are great fun, but you will put out money for gas, accommodations, food, drink andentertainment. When it’s all said and done, your long weekend will smack your wallet.

84) Name your own price for a flight or accommodations, if you must travel, by using services such as Priceline. Factors such as current events and gas prices may cause travel prices to fluctuate.

85) Check prices for Amtrak or Greyhound versus air travel. Both companies offer student discounts.

86) A student travel discount card will get you nice discounts on accommodations, food, and transportation if you are traveling nationally or internationally:

87) Carpool home for the holidays. When everyone splits the cost of gas, it’s pretty darn cheap.

88) Nearly all money experts say “Skip Spring Break!” Some students even choose to engage in community service during spring break.
