I think every college student experiences being broke every now and  perhaps even every week! Especially in the first semester, freshman students get so overwhelmed with buying texbooks and all kinds of goodies and clothes for new classes that they end up spending all they have(speaking from personal experience) ! Espcially , if youre an international student,you have to pay for your housing and the highest level of tution at the school. So it becomes a pretty difficult situation at times but there’s always a way to  manage ! so its a matter of learning to manage your expenses along with your coursework .
