Most of them are probably offering you a credits card with a great introductory interest rate! This is where College Student Credit Card Debt begins. College student credit card debt can be avoided by not getting one, not an option for most as it is so much easier to pay for things if you have a credit card.

When you went to your college open day to sign up, I am guessing that there were a stack of stands outside (or inside) where banks were getting you to open an account with them?

A well known film star, producer, director and writer made his first movie on credit cards (DO NOT DO THIS CHANCES ARE YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED) He got himself a job working at a local video store, not one of the major chains but a small family run place, he then worked it out so he would be on the front desk the whole time. Then he applied for a stack of credit cards filling in his income as $50,000 a year. Then when the card company called up he would say "Yeah he works here best manager we have ever had Yeah he earns $50k a year!" A pile of credit cards later he made his first movie with a mound of college student credit card debt to pay off.

Now this could have backfired on him very very easily which is why it is not a good idea, luckily for him it did pays off and he has made some fantastic movies since leaving college. It took a year for him to pay off $50,000 in college student credit card debt even with a huge hit movie.
