As long as you're paying thousands of dollars every couple of weeks, you might as well milk your University for all it's worth:

  • Go to lecture every day. If you paid $2,663 for 90 lectures (three classes, three times a week for 10 weeks), each lecture is $29.59.
    • If you don't like your teachers, go to some other class. As long as you're deriving education from someone. Even if you like your real classes, attending classes you're not signed up for can give you the feeling of being an academic rebel, hijacking education for free! Go geeky rebels! In large lecture halls they won't even notice you. In smaller classrooms, most usually don't care. It's good form to ask, though. There's supposedly an auditing process you can go through to get approval to audit a course, but nobody seems to know anything about it when asked. Truly good professors are happy to hear that you want to learn what they are teaching. Those are the ones you'll want to sit in on if you choose to audit.
  • Join a club that's registered with your student union, or start your own! And then apply for a grant from them.
  • Go to parties at the various Fraternities and Sororities on campus.
  • Grab a free organizer and other free swag at orientation week.
  • Grab free condoms from your student union office, college council offices, security offices, health offices, etc.

  • Go to the Bikechain and use their free tools and repair help to fix your bike. They have a powerful air pump there, so go fill up your bike tires every 3 weeks or so and you'll have a smooth ride for the entire school year.
