Ahhh yes. The cheap alternatives to enjoy one’s self. Being out of college, I still have a social life like I was in college and boy is it costly! I try and only go out 1 night a weekend w/ my friends but that rarely happens. Often we find ourself spending too much out, so we finally found the solution: Purchasing a keg.

On weekends, rather than going out and spending way too much money idnividually on drinks, we have began to purchase a keg for the weekend and relaxing at someones home. Split up the prices for the keg, ice, and supplies, and you have yourself a cheap social thrill under 20 bucks (Depending on how many friends you have that will actually do this).

@Craig I agree that it is not the cheapest activity but it all depends on where you go and on what night you go. Many places have 2 for 1 nights and so on.

@Wilhelm Yes I considered including museum and art gallery buth to be honest I have never tried either of those activities. To be honest when putting together an article for College Life 101 I try to write something realistic for college students and I honestly don’t know any college student that has taken a date to an art gallery.

@SaveBuyLive You made a very good point. Wherever you choose to bring your date you must be positive that it is an activity that interests them. Nothing worse than bringin a science girl to an art gallery and have her fall asleep due to boredom. Excellent thoughts on the cooking food idea. I’m sure it has helped you many times in the past. Thanks for deciding to comment on Studenomics and I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Try out local art crawls, gallery crawls or pub crawls. Those are usually dirt cheap and pretty fun. Of course you should make sure that something like an art crawl would actually interest your date.

Don’t limit yourself just to coffee. College campuses are usually magnates for trendy beverage shops like tea houses and bubble tea.

I’m not a big fan of parties, usually too noisy and crazy.

I love cooking for dates. Most people really appreciate a good meal. Make sure you can actually make the meal before you decide to invite someone over for it.

Agreed that bowling is *not* cheap. But how about going to wander round a museum or art gallery, or going to a local fair? They give you a lot to talk about, and make you look cultured.

I love bowling and think it’s a great date but it is not cheap at all. 2 games plus shoes can run close to $30 plus figure some food and drinks.

Movies are a cheaper date without the food, or do something simple like a day picnic.
