This infographic created by Citigroup and Seventeen magazine surveyed 1000 students to get their take on everything related to their finances and college life. You can read the full article on Huffington Post here.
80% of students learn about money from their parents. A good question is, are they learning the right things from their parents?
34% of students learn about money from schools. This is shockingly low considering that high-schools constantly prepare kids for college, yet they don't teach a big part of it - how do you pay for it?
Roughly 40% of students don't use any kind of budget for their finances.
An interesting take away is that although 61% of students feel that college is more expensive than they expected, 94% still feel that it is a worthwhile investment for their future.
