College should be one of the best experiences of your life, but it won't be if you're worrying about money (or wondering where the money went).
Print this worksheet to see how your estimated expenses stand up to your estimated income for the semester. There are some blanks so you can fill in your own items. You know better than anyone else where the major money-suckers are.
