This yearâs college students entered their fall semesters in a much different world from last yearâs, and some effects â positive ones â are showing up in studentsâ credit card behaviors and plans.
In a new poll by AIG and EVERFI, more than four in 10 U.S. 2020-2021 college students (41%) reported feeling more anxious about the current school year due to the coronavirus pandemic, with almost a third (32%) specifically indicating it has placed extra financial stress on their family.
Either despite this or as a result of it, a larger share of this yearâs students are exhibiting positive credit card behaviors and plans, and other constructive financial habits, than reported by last yearâs 2019-2020 students.

For instance, while 42% of students a year ago said they were paying more than the required minimum on their credit cards every month, 57% report they are doing so this year.

Plans for the coming year are also in their focus, with 71% of this yearâs students saying they plan to make every card payment on time in the next year, and 61% indicating they plan to pay off their full balance every month. Last year, only 60% and 52%, respectively, reported the same.
Beyond card management, three-quarters of this yearâs students (75%) said they currently stop spending when their cash is running low. Thatâs compared to 64% indicating this last year. And a similar share (72%) said they are checking their bank balances regularly, while only 65% of the previous yearâs students reported this.
AIG and EVERFIâs survey was fielded from late August through late September 2020, among a nationally representative sample of almost 7,100 U.S. college students. Results were released Nov. 11.
