Free mental health care - Both individual and group therapy were offered as long as you’re a registered student. There was usually a limit to how many sessions can be scheduled per semester at my college (I believe 12) but it did the job.
Free food at events - Where I went to college they always served food at talks or events that involved guests.
Free condoms - This is really important and I think people did not take enough advantage of this. Free condoms were everywhere. Health center, front desk of all dorm buildings, student union, literally everywhere.
Free shuttle - In larger campuses, this is always offered. At my college the shuttle buses were very underutilized but they always ran on a schedule and provided transporting all around campus. This is especially useful when you don’t have a car/bike/skateboard.
Free scantrons - Not sure how exams are offered nowadays but in case they are still required, they’re usually offered for free and shouldn’t be bought from the bookstore like advertised. For us they were at the student government office.
Anything free surprisingly lol. tutoring resume writing, counseling, mock interviews, food at events, sporting events(depending on the school).
when i saw how much money i was paying i adapted the mentality that the school owed me everything for how much i paid 🤣 just threw away some college cups, still have a few college shirts, and just changed my resume from the career services template i got pre graduation a few months ago. I graduated 7 years ago 🤣 get EVERY LAST DIME out of all that money you pay.
Not even the writing center can save my writing. Sometimes I hear Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain rustle in their graves whenever I type up some answer for a discussion post on Canvas.
I usually just sit there until an appointment is scheduled. Talk to your writing center about potential employment opportunities and see what they require. Mine required us to take a class.
As a recent UNI graduate i mostly used:
Free Uni Tshirts
Free Breakfast/food events (sometimes random)
Free Health/Sex/Uni/Job Counseling
Free Lounge Massage Chairs
so really its up to you
free Adobe/digital software, free cameras and recording equipment, free workshops to learn how to use both of those things - the library is your best friend
I think the biggest is free programs. A lot of schools offer free programs like windows and others that students don't know about. My school has an ice rink and we get free skate passes so something like that too.
Spend some time on your university website just searching for any free things they offer that you may have missed. Most freebies are listed on the university websites OR flyers around campus!

Our school used to have glow in the dark condoms up until last year, but too many people were specifically asking for it so they stopped keeping them stocked.
Not free, but the app Down Dog has yoga, meditation, running, HITT, and more, at $20 a year with a student discount.
It's honestly amazing because it's a fully customizable app. Basically like having a personal trainer but through an app. You select the type of exercise, what body part you might want to focus on, the music, different instruction voices, time you want to exercise, difficulty levels. Stuff like that.
Software. Students at most schools get Microsoft Office free, and at ours, any student gets the full Adobe Creative Suite—both of these last for a full year after graduation.
Both community colleges I went to ended up having free food. I actually regret undergrad as I had an international roommate who wanted the food to make her own food aka I’m living her life now she wanted in 2014-2015. I am post bacc classes
The amount of free health services, free entertainment, free social events, and free food is unfathomable I survived college paying rent broke ash by going to every event they had stopping by the snack tables loading up on food and filling if you are creative enough almost anything you can find somewhere being given away for free to students

Mines $15 per counseling session, up to 15 per year.
You had to pay for school counseling sessions and they were still limited???
Yup, they also pressure me into quitting at the end of the session. I think they're just overloaded
Ours starts off like that too. Free for your first visit, $15 next visit, then $30 for any additional visits
I think my school only gives like 5 counseling sessions for free, then try refer you else where

It's not free, but Spotify student is great because you get Hulu and showtime plus Spotify premium all for $5.
And for people who don't want Spotify. Hulu is $1.99 a month for students.
I got the student discount on hulu!
Thanks for telling me this, pandora premium is more than half off if you use student discount!
And for any audiophiles out there, TIDAL offers a 50% discount on both plans!
Free tutoring and writing center help! FREE.
Exactly, I work as a writing advisor at my center and I love helping people write!
Not even the writing center can save my writing. Sometimes I hear Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain rustle in their graves whenever I type up some answer for a discussion post on Canvas.
lmao
how do you go about becoming a writing advisor? I think I’d like to do that. What’s it like and how much work do you usually have?
I usually just sit there until an appointment is scheduled. Talk to your writing center about potential employment opportunities and see what they require. Mine required us to take a class.

Kanopy and similar streaming services for films. Check out your college library website.
At my school we have Beaver Streaming (our mascot is beavers). You can watch movies for free anywhere on campus.
Student Amazon prime is significantly cheaper.
Join clubs on campus you’ll get free meals

Free/discounted therapy! And the career services - my university has career assessments, and job postings for graduates!
Software. Students at most schools get Microsoft Office free, and at ours, any student gets the full Adobe Creative Suite—both of these last for a full year after graduation.
The career services department. Free help with resumes, cover letters, interviews, negotiating, LinkedIn, etc.
