If you are a student, you need to have a business card. It’s plain and simple, especially if you are looking to network effectively and make successful connections within your university. Business cards are the way to build yourself up and also establish your personal brand.
Here are some of the basic reasons you need to have a business card as a student.
Hopefully these tips help you out in deciding to get business cards printed up as a student. Don’t think about whether you need them or not, think about what to put on them and how soon you can order them.
Best of luck,

Hey Chris-
Great post--and I totally agree. I think getting business cards printed as a student requires him/her to hurdle a mental obstacle--that is, to start looking at their education as training, as their schooling as more professional. To me, this move is tough, but critical to fully realizing the skills and knowledge we gain while at university.
A friend of mine forwarded a link to me last fall, when an online company was holding a promotion for 50 free business cards, with free shipping! I don't know if the promotion still is honored, but you (and others) can check it out here:

Chris,
good article, I have to say as I was reading this I was thinking it to be a little silly. But Andrew's comment got me thinking "why is it so silly". this is mental obstacle I and other students need to get over. This is a great idea, and I'll let you know how it works out!

Having a business card as a student now sounds like a great idea and I'm sure that it can actually work very well. But back in the days when I was in college and voip wasn't even invented, having a business card as a student would have looked a bit snobbish to many of the ones you would hand them out to.
