If you want the card for building credit, get it and then send it to your parents to keep. I can’t emphasize enough how far away you should stay from the people handing out credit card applications.

I actually don't purchase books until about a week or two in, and see how much I really need the book. Usually for non-core classes for general education courses, you don't really need the book. Also, if the teacher has great lectures, all you need to do is pay attention, and you won't need the book to study. I got a B+ in my graphic technology course and saved $200 by listening to his lectures and not buying the books! I definitely agree with checking if you really need that book for the class.

I think (in relation to point #3) that if every student learned to simply eat cheaply and healthily, student debt would be largely wiped out and the future health of the nation (particularly where obesity-related diseases are concerned) would be vastly improved. *Sigh* "if only every student really WOULD learn to eat healthily, huh?
