   Credit cards can provide a great deal of security to the student away at college, giving quick access to funds in an emergency. For this reason, many parents supply their college bound students a credit card to handle unexpected expenses. However, many of these parents soon regret that choice, finding that the student is not yet mature enough to use credit cards with the necessary restraint and is running up high balances with irresponsible spending practices.
