One of the most important things college students learn during their four, five, or (gulp) six years on campus has nothing to do with professors or textbooks. It has everything to do with how they handle their money. I'm talking about budgeting, and there's no better place to start learning than at the supermarket.
Once your kid decides to move off campus and drop the college meal plan, the real fun begins. They'll have to quickly figure out ways to get the most groceries for their money. When I was in college, I had it easy. One of my roommates came from a family of restaurateurs, so he was always bringing food back from his weekend trips home. But most college students won't have that luxury.
Elon News Network reports that Harris Teeter has announced a 10% brand-wide discount for students of several colleges and universities in the Carolinas and Virginia through October 3rd. To claim the offer, students must present their college identification along with their VIC card at checkout. After October 3rd, the discount drops to 5% and lasts through May 28, 2024.
Students from Elon University can save even more money on College Night at the Harris Teeter on South Church Street in Burlington, NC. On Wednesday, August 30 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., students with a college ID and VIC card will get 20% off all store goods. According to Harris Teeter's website, a number of their stores in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia have been participating in the College Rewards program over the last couple of years. It would be worth finding out if any other locations are also hosting College Nights.

These Are The Top 25 Highest Rated Community Colleges In North Carolina
With the cost of college soaring, high school seniors and those looking to go back to school have tough decisions to make. In many circumstances, it doesn't make sense to go to a 4-year University. Whether you are looking to take a more specialized career path or just knock out some credits before transferring over to another institution to finish your degree. Regardless of your motivation community college is a great option and one that many people choose to pursue. Additionally, community colleges are cheaper than even in-state schools and have 100% admission rates. This makes them accessible to more prospective students. But which school should you go to? There are many community colleges in North Carolina. Some of your decision may depend on the field you'd like to study. There is also a discrepancy in cost between different schools. Location of course also is an important factor as students at community colleges do not live on campus. That's why Niche created its Community College Rankings.
