College students invest in stocks

I think that depends. If you have some extra “pocket money” or you majored in finance or economy-related majors, you can have a try in the stock market. But don’t invest too much money and prepare for the worst. Even though you lose all of your invested money, your normal life will not be influenced significantly. I heard that some foreign universities set up simulated trading rooms or mock trading floors to expose students to a real-life trading environment. I think it is good.
