1. Go to a sporting event!

Sports are free for students to attend as long as they have their student IDs on them, and it’s an excellent way to show spirit and support for your university.

2. Check the email from Student Activities and Involvement every Monday.

Every Monday the office releases events that are happening on campus, most of which are free. These events range from RSO’s (registered student organizations) having events, to guest speakers/appearances and even movie showings on campus.

3. Host a movie night in your room.

On campus or not, it doesn’t matter. Everyone loves a good movie night with snacks and friends. Pick a movie (or 5), pitch in on the snacks, and relax for a night in.

4. Get involved with the volunteer office.

5. Go see a production in Bush Theatre.

There are plenty of plays, musicals, and concerts in Bush Theatre that are reasonably priced. Central has a copious amount of talented students on campus. Tickets range from $7-$10 to attend.
