How to Have Fun on a Student's Budget
- Your Actions:
1
Local museums often offer half-price or free admission on certain days of the week, or between specified hours. You can always get a student discount at any museum just by flashing your ID card. If you can get a group together, school trips are often allowed free admission for the sake of higher education. It’s worth a call to area museums to find out if they have such programs.
2
Attend matinées of movies instead of evening shows. Movies used to be a cheap date, but not anymore. Matinées still provide a discounted way to keep up on the latest releases. Or, most colleges and Universities will offer a movie night on the weekend. They will show movies on big screens for free.
3
Visit local art boutiques. You may not have the money to buy the pricey photographs, sculptures or paintings on display in these shops, but they’re a great place to peruse the offerings of all types of artists without having to pay admission and such shops are often regularly rotating their display.
4
Read for free. Your campus bookstore don’t charge a dime to hang out and read their amazing selection of books and magazines. Nor does the school library. In fact, they encourage it, with comfortable chairs scattered around the store and in-store coffee shops. What’s more, public bookstores are often a great place to hear authors reading from newly published books, and you're allowed to read in these for free as well. Pick up a calendar of events from the bookstore while you’re there.
5
Rent videos and invite people over. Try a movie theme night, featuring genres such as horror flicks or oldies but goodies.
6
Become a regular reader of the Arts and Entertainment section of your local newspaper. Knowing where to find out about entertainment opportunities is half the battle. The newspaper is a great source of information regarding free outdoor concerts, free outdoor movies at a local park, neighborhood street festivals and more.
