Going away to college is a monumental event on the road to adulthood.
For many, this presents the first opportunity for living independently, away from parents
and being able to ask for assistance whenever the need arises (especially financial assistance).
Parents often open credit card accounts in their children's name or provide them with a companion
card to their personal credit card account. Another option open to most college students is to receive
a student credit card in their own name. Issuers of Student Credit Cards have recognized the value of
being the "first card in wallet" with young people in terms of building long term loyalty. Midas now
has student credit card offers with both parents and students in mind.
