    Honestly, no. Especially with the credit crunch now it is going to be hard to have a good score and take out loans each semester. Keep maintaining your credit card ballances well and save as much as you can.

    I’m not sure why others would recommend paying them off, since obviously you won’t do that until you’re finished with school.

    Here are a few things you could do while still a student to raise your score. By the way, I think it’s a great idea to take care of this now. I commend your choice to fix this now instead of taking an easy route and dealing with a bigger problem later. Anyway, here are some easy tips to raise your score. Some may apply to you, and some may not.

    * Know what’s on your credit report and resolve any discrepancies – even if you believe you have a good credit score, it is still wise to check with credit reporting agencies to make sure they contain a similar view of your credit history. It’s also wise to make sure there are no errors on your report, such as name misspellings or incorrect addresses.

    * Plan to pay your bills on time and follow through – You can start this today, even before you take a look at your credit report. Contact your creditors to review your payment options and catch up with any late payments. Focus on ways to reduce your spending.

    * Stop using credit cards now – Paying down your credit card balances will not only improve your credit rating over time, but you’ll be in a better position to negotiate a lower interest rate for your cards. Of course, if you need your credit cards for basic goods, you may still have to use them, but use them sparingly.

    * Don’t live beyond your means – Make paying your bills and buying only essential items your main priority. Carefully weigh the importance of all new purchases against the greater importance of reestablishing your good credit.

    If you can, increase your income. The more money you make, the better you’ll appear to creditors as likely to pay back debt. If this isn’t an option (many students simply don’t have the time to work), you’ll have to stick to cutting back expenses.

    It might be tough, but you’ll do fine if you put the effort into raising your score. Good luck!
