Contact your roommate now
Many of you have probably already done this. If you haven’t, find
your roommate on Facebook now. Drop that person a friend request.
What you’ll want to find out from that person is what shareable
items to bring. Items like a television, a microwave, and a
mini-fridge are items that you can share in a dorm room without
any real problems. Plus, doing so will save one (or both) of you
some cash if you don’t already have the items. If you do, now’s
your chance to return the item.
Start looking into campus organizations, particularly
those related to your major and interests
I would strive to make a list of at least five organizations that you
might be interested in joining. Most organizations on campus
will have meetings or some sort of activity during the first week or
so of classes, which will give you an opportunity to find out more about them.
If I were doing this again, I’d make a list of ten of them and try to
stick with at least five of them.
Why do this? There are several reasons why campus organizations
not only help you to save money, but can help you to earn money
over the long run.
For starters, it gives you a great chance to meet and hang out with
other people who are genuinely into the same things you are. If the
topic of the group interests you, then you know that other people in
the group are going to be interested, too, making it easy to get to know them.
Second, they’re great resume boosters, particularly if you get involved
in leadership in the club. I am firmly convinced that my participation
in and leadership in a couple of organizations late in my college
career helped me to get my first post-college job.
Third, they’re often huge money savers for poor students, as most
clubs have a budget of some kind that’s often used on food. Many
organizations have movie nights and other gatherings where the
club’s budget pays for a meal.
The more organizations you try out, the more free meals you’ll
get and the more likely you are to find organizations that really click with you.
Find a job connected to your major and shine with it
If you’re serious about really making your mark on campus, try to find
a job connected with the academic department of your major. These jobs
typically pay minimum wage or sometimes less (if they’re work study jobs),
but they offer a great chance to interact with professors and other professionals
in your department. That’s where the value is.
If you can get such a job, use it as much as you can to help out professors and
others in your department. Look for every chance to interact with and serve in
a positive way. Some won’t notice, but quite a few will.
I did this myself and it led to a sequence of jobs that not only put cash in my
pocket, they also resulted in a lot of free meals, a free computer, at least
two free textbooks, and a very nice resume.
Stay in
It’s tempting to want to go out, but every time you set foot in a business
establishment, you’re pretty much begging to spend money. You’re far
better off hanging out at someone’s dorm room or apartment.
Instead of eating out, make your own simple meals or make meals together
with friends. If you simply must order food, even that’s usually cheaper
than going to a restaurant.
If you’re going to drink, it’s far cheaper (and less likely to end disastrously)
if you’re drinking in someone’s apartment rather than out and about.
You’re in a relatively safer environment and it’s far less expensive.
The things you can do while staying in are far cheaper, too, and they’re
still quite fun. Have a movie night. Turn on some music. Play a board
game or a video game. If you can’t come up with something to do that’s
fun, you’re not trying very hard.
campus is perhaps the best time in your life to figure out who you
are and what you want to be doing. That process doesn’t have to
involve spending money – in fact, outside of the tuition and other
direct fees, most aspects of college make it as easy as possible to do
that self-discovery without spending cash. Take advantage of it.
