I had one in college because I went to school 15 hours away from home and was concerned about handling financial emergencies. Today it's a lot easier to get money from home if you need it.

Another option to build your credit is a <a href="http://www.doughroller.net/credit-cards/best-secured-credit-cards/" rel="nofollow">secured credit card</a>. You have to deposit cash with the credit card company equal to your credit limit. But these cards do help build credit. And once you move to a traditional credit card, you get your deposit back.

First i applied for discovery student credit card and was denied because i have no credit. When i told the lady that's why i needed a credit card she said you do not have student loans to which i replied no i'm on scholarship. Then i went to bank of america for a secured card and was denied because i did not make enough. I really want to start building credit so i'll have a credit history when i graduate, move out on my own and can buy furniture. How will i do that if i keep getting denied?

But I would like to say this, being a college grad I would stay away from credit cards all together. This is part of the reason for my credit card debt now. And for what a t-shirt and a water bottle, that was the incentives they were giving out back in 98 for signing up for a credit cards. I'm not sure what they are giving today, maybe gift cards.
