I especially like audiobooks on cassette tape. I love taking advantage of my University’s library and weight room. I especially like audiobooks on cassette tape.

I know I didn't. The “free” (that is, paid-for-in-tution) medical services at college is a really important deal that a lot of students don’t take advantage of enough. I know I didn’t.

I didn't start going regularly until Senior Year (thanks to Rachel who got me going) and when I graduated I looked at the gyms around my apt in NJ and the cheapest one was $75/month. Who knew that I got such a good deal at school! Also, go to those free lectures on interesting things. After school you'll have to pay quite a bit for them! The biggest loss I felt was the gym.

All this would have run to hundreds of dollars, if not a thousand or more. Also, most libraries will have a vast selection of high quality audio-visual materials for their music, film, literature (etc) students. At my uni we've got a selction of movies far superior to any video store, and all for free.
