Credit Cards on Campus

  In recent years, credit cards have gained more popularity among college  students. With banks’ more focus on college market, an increasing number of  college students have applied for credit cards and begun to consume by them.

  The following three factors can account for the popularity of credit cards  on campus. Firstly, a credit card provides overdrawing service, which is a big  attraction for those students who have not much money for their domination.  Secondly, a credit card can help release financial burdens on those poor  students, and hence reduce the risk of their dropping school for lacking money.  Besides, many banks make some preferential policies on credit cards, like  sending a gift, lowering year cost. Drawn by these policies, many college  students have applied for credit cards.

  As far as I am concerned, it is not a bad thing for college students to own  credit cards. However, there is misuse of credit cards among college students.  Many students use credit cards to buy luxurious things they don’t need really,  and even some of them owe a big credit card debt. Therefore, schools and banks  have responsibility to let college students learn how to use credit cards  properly. Only in this way can college students enjoy really the advantages of  credit cards.
