@Wilhelm That’s true, everyone has a different situation and I know plenty of kids who did not live what I considered a frugal lifestyle in college. I was very fortunate that my parents financially supported me throughout college and graduated with no debt. I really appreciated it and tried my best to live frugally which I believe I did.

Craig: that depends who’s bankrolling their lifestyle! People with rich parents and a lot of credit cards never seem to see the need to be frugal at university.

Don’t worry about seeming to give stale advice like “don’t drink coffee.” It’s true that most people know about the Latte Factor, but I remember a college girl asking for tips from Get Rich Slowly, and she revealed in the comments that she spends tons of money on coffee. There are people out there who haven’t heard the classic frugality tips. Just give whatever advice you really think is helpful.

Funny thing is college students live very frugal lifestyles. Eat cheap food, drink cheap alcohol, live in crappy places with minimum and usually second hand furniture, tend not to spend a lot. If anything most adults can learn tips from college students. I agree living frugal in college is one thing but like you said, shouldn’t prevent you from doing well in class or having some fun every now and then.
