I didn't get my first credit card until after college. Well at least one that I used. I did sign up for a bunch in college, but cancelled accounts as soon as I got the card.

Having a credit card in college is not a bad way to start and establish your credit. Use the card in place of cash and at the end of the month use the cash to pay off the balance. I know its not that easy at a young age but it can work and is a good way on how to live within a budget.
