Students can't control the price of college tuition, but they have options when it comes to everything else. According to the College Board, students attending a four-year, in-state public institution spend an average of $12,368 per year on housing, books, transportation and other fees. That's more than $5,300 above the average cost of tuition.

By making a few smart financial choices, students can significantly reduce their college housing costs.
