it's Free!!! Free Stuff for College Students

Here are some freebies you can take advantage of as a college student:


  • Pocket points-Get points for not using your phone during lecture time. Earn enough points and use them for food at places like Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Panda Express. https://pocketpoints.com/


  • Free software: Check out Autodesk, Imagine, and OnTheHub for free software available to college students.
  • Anoka-Ramsey students can download Office 365 free. Ask someone in the Computer Lab how.
  • Consider volunteering at an event: You may get free admission and/or food as a thank-you.
  • Printing is available for free at the campus Computer Lab: it's on the lower level in T124.






  • Your public library offers some freebies: Would you like a free ticket or two to arts events (like a free dance lesson or a stage performance, for example)? Get a SmARTpass from one of the many metro-area libraries. The pass is free!! Do you need a place for your group to meet or a quiet place to study? You can use a conference room (ask a reference librarian to sign you up), check out music on CDs, (are you studying Berlioz, or do you want to hear the soundtrack from a movie??)  and take free classes at the library as well. Hennepin County Library: https://hclib.org/ and Anoka County Library: http://www.anokacounty.us/1758/Library


  • Project Gutenberg offers lots of books to download for free. Is there a book you need to read for class (or for fun)?? And rest assured: Books take up very minimal memory on a computer or e-reader. There are over 50,000 books here for free download:  http://www.gutenberg.org/


  • Would you like to have an online newspaper available every day, at least to get the headlines?? The Washington Post is free in digital form. https://www.washingtonpost.com/
  • College students get 6 months free of Amazon Prime: fast delivery for no charge. Be sure to cancel at the end of your free trial, though.
Do you know any other freebies available to college students?
