Money-Saving Tips
Eat lunch on campus - student unions keep cafeteria prices 30-40% below downtown rates
Use the RideShare program for airport trips. Splits a $50-70 cab into $15-25 per seat
Book fall weekends early: football Saturdays can triple hotel prices if you wait
Hit the farmers' market 30 min before close. Vendors slash produce prices to avoid hauling it home
Walk the diagonal. Downtown grid cuts 20% off walking distances vs. staying on orthogonal streets
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Driving everywhere and feeding meters ($2-4 an hour) instead of using the free AATA buses
Booking hotels right on Main St for the vibe, then paying the 15-20% nightlife noise premium
Assuming campus museums are always free - special exhibits charge $10-25 and it adds up
