This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Everyone knows that college can be insanely expensive, but have you ever thought about all the other things that money could buy? On average, an in-state student’s tuition at Clemson is around $6,723. I did some research and found these nine things you could be using that money for.

 

1,034 Chipotle chicken burritos

 

840 pitchers of Clemson Goodnight on a Thursday

7 tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway (with awesome seats might I add)

38 boxes of gold staples

 

Which makes us wonder…

42 one-day park hopper passes to Disney World

 

11 Arctic Foxes

 

3 of These Engagement Rings

 

971,500 Pokecoins (or 242,875 Pokeballs) in Pokemon GO

 

1 of These Toilets

It must pay your bills or something…

 

 

While all of these things sound great, none of them can compare to the glory and satisfaction of being a student at the greatest university in the nation. So hang on to your wallets, tigers, because the journey is worth every penny.

My name is Carly McRae and I'm a junior at Clemson University. I'm studying Secondary Education with an emphasis in English and am in denial that I'm more than halfway done with school. I'm a member of TakeNote, our female a cappella group, Clemson University Singers, as well as the Beta Kappa chapter of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity. I love being a Clemson tiger and am so excited to be writing for Her Campus!
