freshman here—is it a good idea to apply for a student credit card? i think it would be good to start building credit and i know all the rules you’re supposed to follow (treat it like a debit card, pay it off every month) but idk it feels too adult lol

Yes, especially a student credit card because those are geared towards college students. It’s never a bad idea to establish more financial freedom in my opinion. If you haven’t already I would suggest maybe watching a credit card 101 style video on TikTok or YouTube to hear real input from people who have had multiple credit cards and are spreading information they wish they knew before they got one. I hope this helps! 😁
