- Strawless Policy at Uncommon Grounds
-
Yes, for a bubble tea at night, you do get the boba straw. However, I was pleasantly surprised when the baristas told me there is no straw for my drink when I asked for one. It’s always nice to see that the school cares about reducing waste.
- Free Printing
-
…or should I rephrase, “included in our tuition.” But in all seriousness, we write all the time. Some professors also prefer their students to print the readings instead of reading online. I can’t imagine paying every single time I have to print. Little by little, money adds up! I personally don’t color print often because I don’t need to most of the time, but the colors are so vivid! I love that the color printers do a quality job when it comes to printing the true colors instead of printing similar shades.
- Weekend Blue Buses
-
While I love being on campus because it is truly gorgeous, I still want to go somewhere else sometimes. I can always use Septa, but for a typical college student, even a few bucks can be costly. This is why I fully take advantage of the Blue Bus on the weekend. A short trip to Suburban Square is a nice break to get a little breeze outside the campus. There’s Kung Fu Tea where I get my bubble tea, and I stop by Trader Joes for some snacks. There are Lululemon, Sephora, Madewell and Urban Outfitters as well!
- Walking on Dry Leaves
-
We all know the feeling, the sound and the joy that comes with this. I can even say that the crunchy leaves make my day. I love seeing all the colors and fall foliage, but walking on the crunchy leaves is like actually experiencing fall.
