What "free"/extra stuff does your college tuition get you?

[noir cat]

I've decided that I should very much take advantage of EVERYTHING in the college/s I go to. I'm paying for this shit education and investing my time in this when I could be out working.

So I can get FREE:

printing

internet use

gym use

yoga/exercise classes taught by a real instructor

pool use (even though I can't swim... in FIU, I believe I can probably take in nonstudents as they don't check id, I think)

free condoms at the FIU Health and Wellness center! And free condoms are the best condoms.

Hm. I have to investigate more on what else I could get out of this shithole.

If it's a shit education, why are you paying for it?

[meow]

free journal articles

free internet (not that i use it because its faster in my apt)

free exercise (there is limited parking so I often part at the bottom of the hill and have to hike up)

I think we can get gym memberships for free

yeah thats about it.

Because it's the best I can do and it's probably better than nothing.

I'm an underachiever in the truest sense.
Besides... I don't know, I guess FIU is OKAY. I don't know if it's for me. Or maybe my drive and motivation somehow decreased even more.

You know, I was thinking about going to a shit vocational school for a class just for that. That school was so desperate for people to enroll, they had this commercial that played all the time that said "Come to our school and you get a free laptop." But I'm sure the requirement may be more than just one class. So I was all "hm, might not be worth the trouble."

FRUSTRATION!@

damn, i hate u of t's attitude towards their own undergrads. it's like they do it on purpose...'no way in hell you'll get good enough marks to get into grad school here'

[noir cat]

What, no free condoms?!?! That's outrageous.

You guys need to rape your school for what it's worth. That's ALL you guys can find?

Oh, and I also get to see free movies at the movie theater in my school... but those movies aren't so great. :\

[Toby]

oh yeah, we get free visits to the clinic on campus and chix get free B.C.

[ammy]

that's really all there is anymore.. budget cuts. pay more, get less.

oh and the pool..
and movies, a a week before they come out on video.. lame ones usually.

oh yes, and the clinic, thanks for reminding me.. that's a good one.

no free condoms or BC though.. lower prices, yes.

Any Microsoft software I want, that's about it as far as I know.

I'm sure mine and machinaddict's Universities would charge us for breathing their fucking air if they could.

It now costs $40 a semester to use the campus gym. Plus more if you want to take fitness classes or use equipment.
Yeah, no fucking kidding.
