Judges were also impressed by the Discover It Chrome card's student-friendly terms and forgiving stance toward occasional late payments. "This is the perfect starter card for busy students," says CreditCards.com Senior Industry Analyst Matt Schulz. If you accidentally forget a payment, "you won't get stuck with a fee the first time you're late paying a bill."  

Taking second place is the Wells Fargo Cash Back College Visa.  The card's lower interest rate and free budgeting tools for new borrowers were impressive to the judges.  The BankAmericard Cash Rewards Credit Card - with its significant amount of cash back – finished in third place in the best student card category.
