 MasterCard
knows college students have more than money on their mind.
The company's Web site provides the expected links to credit
cards marketed to students, but it also provides information
about managing credit targeted toward that same audience. Realizing
that college is many students' first experience with credit, they
have included a page that explains how to build a solid credit
history. There is also a section on how to budget for those who
have to pay for their higher education. And there is a page of
answers to questions frequently asked of the credit company which
contains quite a bit of information for those who are willing
to search through the list.
The site also offers some unexpected sections, including resources for
job hunters, a list of links meant to help students with online research
and a guide to getting financial aid. Students may find the site useful,
but others would probably be best advised to look elsewhere for comprehensive
credit information.
