How to stay financially stable
Food, cleaning supplies, electric
ity bills, toiletries — A lot more goes
into living in off-campus housing
than the average college student
may think.
Luckily, there are resources that
can help with maintaining a steady
budget.
Students such as Emeri Bradford,
psychology sophomore, use coupons to
dial back the amount of money spent
on groceries and other items that are
needed to live comfortably on one’s
own in an apartment.
“When I got to college, I went into
shock because suddenly I had to learn
to budget, which I never had to do be
fore,” Bradford said. “Freshman year
I tried it but didn’t really succeed, but
my parents didn’t really care because
I was an overwhelmed freshman.
Once I moved off campus, expenses
got to be out the roof, so I had to find
a way to budget.”
The Adult, Graduate and Off-Cam
pus Student Services Program on cam
pus created an Aggie Budget, a form
that allows students to track their
income and compare it to the various
items needing to be purchased.
“We simply provide it as a tool
students can use to be more informed
when making a decision about what
type of off-campus housing they can
afford,” said Sarah Jaks, assistant
coordinator of the program.
