			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Tim Parker</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a parent of a college student it may be a source of great anxiety. If you&#8217;re a student getting ready to start the next stage of your life, it&#8217;s another piece of freedom that you have been waiting all of your life to gain. What is it? Your first credit card.</p>
<p>College student credit cards have been the subject of debate and controversy. Some argue that credit card companies are targeting the less than responsible spending habits of college students. They&#8217;re offering students a credit card knowing that money will most likely be made in finance charges, late fees, and high interest rates. Additionally, colleges and universities often receive kickbacks from the credit card companies for allowing them to set up booths on campus, send offers to students and parents on the university mailing list, and give students the offer they can&#8217;t refuse. Colleges and universities selling student information to credit card companies is sometimes seen as a conflict of interest.</p>
<p>Others argue that learning to spend wisely and hopefully build a credit history should start as early as possible. If a credit card with a responsible limit is established, it may be the perfect time to build a positive credit report especially when most students aren&#8217;t bogged down with other financial obligations like house and car payments and the expenses associated with having a family.</p>
<p>If you believe that college student credit cards are right for your child, there are a variety of options available in two major categories. First, if an actual unsecured credit card is desired, very attractive cards geared towards students can be found. Some give extra rewards points for the types of the typical college student purchases like books, music, movies, and food and normal points for all other purchases.</p>
<p>The interest rates on these cards are at a manageable level but like any credit card, students should practice good credit habits by paying the full balance at the end of each billing cycle. Many cards have an introductory rate as low as 0% and no annual fee.</p>
<p>There is another class of college student credit cards that aren&#8217;t actually credit cards but represent an option with less risk of abuse or irresponsible spending habits. Parents can take out a prepaid credit card where a set balance can be added to the card at selected intervals. This does not build a credit history but prevents the student from getting overwhelmed with credit card debt.</p>
<p>Many of these prepaid cards come with helpful benefits including no annual fee, free automatic bill pay, and free e-mail and text messaging alerts with information on the card&#8217;s current balance. Additionally, places like Western Union and many others serve as places where money can be added to the card.</p>
<p>Legislation protecting college students from unlawful credit card practices has been proposed but if you believe that a college student credit card is a good idea, many options are available. As always, going to one of the many popular websites that compare the numerous credit card offers is the best place to get started.</p>
<p>About the Author: Here are some of the best <a href="http://www.collegestudentcreditcards.net/" rel='nofollow'>college student credit cards</a>. Don&#8217;t just apply for the first card you find though.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many students, the decision to be a college for the next step in their education is very intimidating.

<p>An assessment carried out by AllAboutUni.com found that Dutch universities do very well in the World&#8217;s Top-500 universities. AllAboutUni.com is an independent, global and interactive website where visitors can obtain information about universities (global rankings, student reviews, university news and campus pictures).</p>
<p>The analysis is based on a ranking of the World’s Top-500 Universities produced by the Institute of Higher Education at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Several indicators of academic or research performance are used to establish the ranking, these include staff winning Nobel Prizes, highly cited researchers and articles indexed in major citation indices.</p>
<p>There are 12 Dutch universities in the World&#8217;s Top-500 universities (2008): University of Utrecht (ranked 47th), University of Leiden (76th), Free University of Amsterdam (101-151), Amsterdam University (101-151), University of Groningen (101-151), Delft University of Technology (152-200), Erasmus University (152-200), Radboud University Nijmegen (152-200), University of Wageningen (152-200), University of Maastricht (303-401), Twente University (303-401) and Eindhoven University of Technology (402-503).</p>
<p><strong><em>Comparison with the World&#8217;s Top-500 Overall,<br />
</em></strong>the World’s Top-500 universities are mainly located in Europe (n=210; 40%), the Americas (n=190; 40%) and the Asian/Pacific region (n=100; 20%). The Netherlands, with 12 universities, represents 2% of the total universities in the World&#8217;s Top-500 universities. If one adjusts for population size (i.e. one calculates the number of universities in the Top-500 per 1 million inhabitants in the country), the Netherlands performs very well compared to other industrialised countries. The countries with the highest number of universities per million inhabitants are the smaller countries in Western Europe (Sweden (1.2 universities in the World&#8217;s Top-500 Universities per 1 million inhabitants), Finland (1.2), Switzerland (1.0), Austria (0.9), Norway (0.8)) and (Israel) (0.8). The Netherlands comes into the next group of countries with 0.7 universities per million inhabitants (this group includes Denmark, Australia, Hong Kong and the UK). The number of US universities per million inhabitants is 0.5.</p>
<p><strong><em>Comparison with the World&#8217;s Top-100universities</em></strong><br />
Universities in the US clearly dominate the World’s Top-100 universities, with 58 universities. There are 23 European universities, of which two are Dutch (the Universities of Utrecht and Leiden).</p>
<p><strong><em>Age</em></strong><br />
The median age of the 12 Dutch universities is 112 years, ranging from 32 years (University of Maastricht) to 433 (University of Leiden). Many of the Dutch universities are young, with six of the 12 universities aged less than 100 years.</p>
<p><strong><em>Endowments<br />
</em></strong>Endowments can play an important role in the operating budget of universities, as demonstrated by the AllAboutUni.com assessment of the world&#8217;s Top-25 universities. Only one of the 12 Dutch universities reported an endowment on Wikipedia accessed 22 November 2008 and this was the Delft University of Technology (€460 million in 2007). This is a relatively small amount in comparison to the World’s Top-25 universities whose median endowment is $5.9 billion.</p>
<p><strong><em>Conclusions<br />
</em></strong>The overall performance of Dutch universities compared to the rest of the world is very good. Despite not being represented in the World&#8217;s Top-25 universities, they have a very good overall performance with a high number of universities per million inhabitants in the World´s Top-500. Another positive point is that many of the Dutch universities are young and have progressed to the World&#8217;s Top-500 universities over a relatively short time period. The strong overall performance of Dutch universities is probably associated with factors like the good management practices, the high level of public (and private) funding available to Dutch universities and the long academic tradition that exists in the Netherlands.</div>
