What is the best credit card for a college student?

Question

I'm trying to build my credit. I'm in college and don't have any credit. I want a card that will not charge any interest or fees if I pay it off every month. (Is there such a thing?). Also, one that I can manage on-line.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

A lot of credit card companies have special cards for college students that come with perks.  Check out http://www.creditcards.com/ and click on STUDENTS on the left to review some.

Answer 2

If you pay off every purchase you charge in its entirety before the due date, then any card is fine.

Answer 3

Any card is fine...make sure though that you read the fine print and there is no annual fee or maintenance fee.  Capital One is a popular first credit card...they will approve you with little to no credit history.  You'll probably only get a $250 limit to start, but you can build up your credit that way. :-)
