How to start building credit as a college student?

Build your credit history early in life

Getting a college student credit card can help you build a good credit rating that will benefit you later in life. College students who open a college student credit card account, pay all balances on time, and don't exceed their limits are in a better position to get larger and better loans sooner after graduation. These loans can be for things like homes and cars. By responsibly using your college student credit card you can prove to lenders that you are a safe borrower so they'll offer you better interest rates for your loans.
