In this video, we'll be going over the best credit cards for students in 2021. College students have way more options than they realize when it comes to choosing a first (or second) credit card, and some of these options flat out suck.


There are a bunch of predatory companies targeting college students for credit cards that will hit them with ridiculous fees and make their lives terrible. But at the same time, there are some amazing student credit cards out there that will let college students build their credit and rack up rewards at the same time.


In order to make it on to the list of best college student credit cards for 2021, each credit card had to have:
