Becoming Money Wi$e

Understanding and managing your finances wisely is an important part of being a student at Lakehead University. That is why we have launched our Money Wi$e initiative to help you make informed financial decisions and understand the various different financial aid opportunities available to you as a student.

At Lakehead, you matter to us and through Money Wi$e we will help teach you how to PLAN, SAVE, and better MANAGE your money.  

Tips & Tricks TO BECOMING MONEY WI$E

Managing your financial resources may be a new area of responsibility for you. The following Tips & Tricks are designed to help you along the way:

Money Saving Ideas

• Look for free on-campus events and activities to take part in!
• Enjoy the free services available through Athletics - either the Fieldhouse & Hangar (Thunder Bay) or the YMCA (Orillia)
• Check to make sure you are getting the student rates through your bank!
• Look into getting a meal plan - it may be less expensive but also provide you with more time to focus on your studies and working rather than cooking meals.
• Wait for sales and coupons before making certain purchases
• Look for seat sales and sign up for alerts through airline companies so you can book your return trips home at the best rates.
