Free stuff

Here's a list of stuff that your parents or someone else already paid for (alphabetized).

Office Services

Color printing: Jesup
Printing: Computer labs in Schow, Sawyer, Jesup, Bronfman, Clark, '62 CTD, Stetson, Goodrich, and numerous other places.
Paper cutter: Schow photocopy room
Pencils: OCC
Scanning, DVD burning, poster printing, video copying and editing, and any other multimedia needs: Jesup Media Studio. We provide the equipment and technical assistance; you have to do the work and provide media (like DVDs, tapes, and photo paper) yourself.
Staplers: OCC (underneath Stetson); anyone visiting gets a free stapler
Staples: Sawyer Circulation Desk, Schow
Computer classes: OIT has classes from time to time. You can request particular classes.

Textbooks/other books! Every beginning of semester, especially the fall, check out the free books table in the 1914 Library. Even students not on financial aid can get free books this way (although only students on financial aid can formally borrow from the 1914 Library). What's that? Your prof says you need the latest edition of this particular translation of Plato, even though it's gone through millenia of perfectly competent translations? Baloney. Hit the 1914.
Victoria's Secret (and other) catalogs: Mail trailer next to Lehman
The Wall Street Journal: Hopkins, the mail trailer
The New York Times: Mission, Goodrich
Old course packets: Easy to find at the end of the semester near recycling bins - you can often score the readings for that class you wanted to take but didn't have time. If you look hard enough around Stetson (below the level b/level d stairwell is a good bet), you can often find a few random packets.

Candy: Dean's office, registrar, and OCC.
Coffee: Between 3:25 PM and 3:30 PM (or when they run out), coffee is free at the Eco Cafe.
Berries and vegetables: when in season in the Forest Garden, between Stetson and CES.
Physics common room: After colloquia but before students show up to work on problem sets. ~~Tuesday and~~ Friday at 3:30. Also has hot chocolate packets and hot water, but leave some change every so often to keep the golden goose laying.
Wednesday 6:30 PM, JRC: Dinner discussion (or movie)
Wednesday 9-10 PM, BioSnacks in the biology building lobby, hosted by the Biology Majors Advisory Committee (BMAC)!
Friday, 7 PM, JRC: Shabbat dinner
Cookies, soda, and juice following Math colloquia in Bronfman 106
Dinner: First Monday of the month, Math-Stats dinner at the dining hall, free even without a meal plan if you walk in with a professor
