    Many people have worked there way through college... don't wait until school starts, start looking for a part time job now.

    One good answer so far.

    First, get a job and start socking away some money. You may be able to check with the school for on-campus jobs. Scout out places to live, preferably near the school and furnished. Why buy furniture. Cars are expensive and insurance will eat you up! Buy a used bicycle and a good lock.

    Do you have any assets to sell?

    Finally, do a written budget so you know where all your money is coming from and where every penny is going.
