Love the Citi Premier & Chase Sapphire Preferred as great options for college students. Great video Eric!

If I was in college now, I'd probably run the Citi Duo of Custom Cash and Double Cash, then add the Citi Premier when feasible, but I guess you can't go wrong with the CSP. Great list!

Interesting List! I keep forgetting about US Bank, lol.
