Cutting the Cost of College Incidentals

Tuition is not the only cost involved in going to college. You will also need to take into account the cost of school fees, books, room and board, travel expenses and general cost of living.

Here in the USA, many colleges and universities require students to live on campus during their freshman year and require freshman to have a meal plan as well. In this way, the parents or guardians could save a little money for their students.

In the Philippines, if your home is far from the school, usually, the parents will look for a safer place for their student, and as much as possible, it must be near to the school or just a walking distance from the boarding house to the school. In this way, the students can save time and money for his or her transportation. It also teaches the student on how to manage on his or her allowance.
