As a recently graduated student from the University of Colorado at Boulder, it's my pleasure to pass down of the tips and tricks I used during my four-year experience to save money around campus. There are many different ways one can go about doing this from roaming around the buildings to find free food or just finding events where there are college promotional gifts waiting for the eager student who jots down a suspicious email address that may or may not be his.
If you wanted to, or are just hopelessly poor like most students, you could probably go around the different buildings on campus and find free food everyday. It would be enough to feed you perhaps every single weekday for as long as you were enrolled. That is of course, if you didn't get sick of pizza and sandwiches. Student groups all around campus will try to attract you to join their groups and all you have to do is pretend to be interested for a little while. Who knows, you may even actually be interested, at least that's what they're hoping. There are even formal dinners you can snake invites to with notable guest speakers who attend and give a speech while you dine. You have to dress up for these though.
Besides the free food, there are many other places to find living necessities. The student center or UMC will always have table set up to prevent the cold or flu viruses and usually offer a bag filled with tissues, chicken noodle soup, and sometimes even organic hand sanitizer. If you are smart about it, you may even be able to get expensive school supplies just by feigning interest in something as easy as laptops. Other groups have different agendas and you may want to be careful about religious groups who pull you in for extended amounts of time for one miniature candy bar.
But the best place to obtain free goodies is definitely at job fairs. Companies are usually very generous in what they give to their potential employees. They want you to remember them so they give out anything from lip balm to tee shirts to promotional USB devices with their names imprinted on them. You can come out of the job fair with a whole new wardrobe and a decent job opportunity. So always remember; if you need to save money, campus has almost everything you need to survive for free. Happy hunting.
