College can be expensive, what do you do to save money?

“I work full-time and usually put away more than half of the money I make. My sister and I also have a lot of classes together so we split book costs or with my cousins.”

-Suheidy Vasquez, 21, Undecided major

“I try to discipline myself the best I can and not go out or eat out. I always eat at home. Whatever my mom gives me is what I eat.”

-Juan Meraz, 19, Child Development major

“There are a lot of programs on campus that help students out with book expenses. EOP&S book grant varies per amount, but some students get about $300 to $500 for a book grant that they can use to buy books. All you have to do is maintain three counselor appointments.”

“I try to get the least amount of classes possible. I try to get at least two classes in a semester because you wonʼt be able to save or be able to pay for all your classes if you get too many.”

-Niloufar Valizadeh, 20, Undecided major

“I carpool here, it saves money. Itʼs cheaper then taking the bus, which can add up over the weekend since I take three buses to get to campus. For school materials I try to keep what I had from prior semesters.”

-Jose Galvez, 21, History major

“My car has eco mode. Every time Iʼm almost near the end bar, I just press the button, which saves gas for another two days until I put another full tank.”

-Joshua Aglugub, 19, Nursing major
