Why We Like Student Bloggers

As a part of Quatromoney’s commitment to helping students and parents make better decisions about paying for college, we have a Student Voice series in our Good Math Blog. We love to share experiences of real college students who are grappling with college costs, banking, work, academics and their financial lives. Student Bloggers share their stories, opinions, and dive into financial topics. We have cringed along with them as they shared some of their bad financial decisions. We have learned some great strategies about where to buy cheap furniture, affordable airfares, and last minute holiday shopping ideas. We have sympathized with their less than stellar online learning experiences and anxiety over money conversations. 

Check out our list of the best 8 student voice blogs about paying for college.
