The easiest way to take advantage of the $0.25 refills in the student center and in center court is by getting yourself a tumbler. Not only is Kaboom, our amazing mascot, on the cup, but you save so much money by using this rather than buying a cup every time you just want a soda. What’s even cooler is that this one is only $26.98!
8. This Frosty Fleece Blanket
The one thing the Bradley University Bookstore is great at doing is selling quality blankets. Like I said earlier, the dorms get cold always.

Get it now for $39.99.

When on break, how will anyone in your home town that you are a college student at Bradley University unless you have a sticker on your car? If you’re gonna put the parking stickers on your car, you may as well add this simple one with the Bradley logo on it too! It’s only $6.98.
10. A Kaboom Key Chain
I for one love Kaboom, and you can’t be a true Bradley Brave without repping Kaboom in some sort of way. If you aren’t a fan of wearing his face on your clothes, then this simple key chain is perfect for you! Having Kaboom on a keychain: $4.98. Loving him: Priceless.

14. A Pink “Sip Sip Tumbler”
While Sip Sip may be a strange way to describe a cup, this cup is anything but strange. It’s pink color is also iridescent and it doesn’t have a Bradley University logo on it, unlike everything else in this list. This is perfect for the college student who wants the cheap refills but doesn’t want the logo on everything they own. This adorable tumbler is $13.00!

Something the average college student needs is to feel a little organized, and while at school this can feel a little challenging. Thank goodness the Bradley University Bookstore has tons of different planners for us to get, like this pocket sized weekly planner. Perfect for organizing every club, class, and Bradley basketball game. Get it for only $4.98.
