6 Back to School, GEORGETOWN & ACTON · Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Back to School Bears That Care (NC)--What keeps students up at night? Not just cramming for exams. They're worried about making money and the impact that has on their school performance. According to a new RBC poll, 79% of postsecondary students say they plan to work part-time while in school and almost half (43%) of those say they need to work to pay the bills. About the same number, 77%, are concerned that working while in school will affect their grades. These worries are understandable, but manageable, says Kavita Joshi, director of student markets at RBC. A Teddy Bear will be donated in the name of these participating merchants to a local child in need. Students worry as much about money as grades: RBC poll with Sherry Lawson Call to register for yoga this fall. Starts September 12 519-833-9402 332 Guelph St., Georgetown (across from Canadian Tire) 905-877-2279 "Students need to budget their time and money," says Joshi. "That's what will reduce their worries." Making smart spending decisions is obvious. For the sake of their grades, students also need to spend their time wisely, Joshi says, between work, classes, studying, and down time. Students also must realize that a heavy course load might require more work (or debt) to pay for it, and more time to keep up with it. "Finding the proper balance will minimize stress," says Joshi, "and web sites like www.betterstudentlife.ca can help reduce money woes."
