A good place to find freelance money making opportunities particular to college students (...). This book also shows you where to find unbelivable student discounts. Good financial aid resources as well. Many tips and tricks that will show you how to make money, stay out of debt, and start saving now.

1000 secrets? To be honest, I didn't find any secrets. I found about 10 generic ideas that were each repeated with slightly different words 100 times. (Here are the top 4: spend less! don't pay fees! buy things cheap! interest adds up!) Maybe that's effective with some 17 year olds but it made me feel like I wasted my money on this book.

College students need as much help as possible in order to secure the
requisite financing for advanced studies. This work provides 1000 ways
to pay for college. i.e.
o work study
o becoming a student assistant
o blood donation
o applying for federal student financial aid
o tutoring
o [...] (scholarships)
o sewing clothing instead of buying new
o shop clothing at the clearance rack
o resident assistants get free housing
o State Universities can be cheaper
o purchase used texts from upper classpeople

This text could be extremely helpful in navigating the financial
aspects of college and university life.

This book is a basic and easy tool to use for future college students. I bought it later in my college life, so I recommend buying it in your Junior or Senior year of high school. You will be surprised how much money can add up, so get ahead of the game and start saving now! You won't regret it!
