University Personal Finance Course

Universities should definately require every college student to take a personal finance class during college, no matter what there major is. Whether it be related to their career or not, everyone is going to be able to manage their finances not only in the future but now as college students. Most students accumulate thousands of dollars in students loans while in college. They need to understand how they are going to pay off these loans when the graduate a lot with all the other expenses they may accumulate such as buying a home or a new car. Being financially responsible is what of the most important things anyone can learn, college student or not. I think it is the universities responsibility to teach students to be financially responsible adults. Schools should also encourage students to start being financially responsible right now, so it will not only be just another class for students but a total lifestyle change. If high schools understand the importance of personal finance classes, the universities need to start requiring it too!
