What is the difference between a student credit card and a regular credit card?

Assuming the student credit card is a standard issue bank credit card and not issued solely through the school, there is no difference. A credit card company might advertise to student with special introductory rates or with a spin that targets that demographic, but in the end a credit card is a credit card. Incidentally, credit card debt among college students is the fasted growing segment of debt. Credit card companies aggressively seek students who are too young or inexperienced to realize that once introductory specials have expired and the "freedom" of buying pizza on credit has worn off, they're responsible for large sums of money that accrue interest.
