studentplatinum.com — I’m sure many of you reading this sentence are already dialing the Dave Ramsey hot line. It’s amazing that the subject of students and credit cards causes such a heated and emotional response from so many people but I understand; we all know somebody who has wrecked their financial life with credit cards.

Good balanced article presenting both the good and bad side of student credit cards. This would help students make a better decision about getting one and also provide a warning to go along with a reasons for doing it. Most articles just say to stay away from them. We all know what forbidding your kids to do something means, they are more determined to do it! Its better to warn them and discuss the issues with them.

It's nice to see an article that doesn't just slam credit card use. Having a credit card (and using it responsibly) is a great way to build credit - I wish there was better information available back when I was in college.
