The Canadian Student Financial Survival Guide

Book excerpt: Students today are faced with ever-rising costs of tuition, and the decisions made as to how to pay for school can be some of the most important a young person makes. The costs for college or university are prohibitive to some and very intimidating to others. It is critical for students to have a handle on their finances, have a plan to eliminate these fears and embark on a life of financial freedom. The Canadian Student Financial Survival Guide will show them how to do this. The Canadian Student Financial Survival Guide covers topics such as student loan applications, financing their education, credit-card issues, car leasing vs. car buying, accommodation and many other issues for students faced with their first major financial decisions.
