Dinner on a Dime!

You may not completely know yet, but sometimes having money to buy food when you are a student can be difficult. To be honest, there are quite a few places on campus that you can go to that are on the cheaper side.

I was able to buy many meals on campus for under 5 dollars! To make things a little bit cheaper I would usually bring my own drink (my water bottle) and have my own snacks that I brought from residence. They other way I saved money was just making my own food and bringing it to class instead of buying. I always had a budget for myself that would keep me in check as well. 

***Food Glorious Food!***

Worried about spending too much money at school? Maybe I can help you with more ideas I did throughout my University Career. Let me know what you are worried about the most and I will come up with a strategy for you!

Connections and Meaningful Conversations

Want a friendly experience at YorkU before you come to York University?

Last summer I had a lovely experience with one of York's incoming students on YU Connect (If you have not checked out YU Connect yet here is the link!). YU Connect gave me the opportunity to correspond and converse with my new friend Deserey. It was a great experience because she lives abroad and I was able to pass on information to her the whole summer about her transition into University. Once September came, it was amazing because we actually got to meet each other in person! It was awesome to get to know someone on a personal level before even meeting them, and then being able to actually meet them!

Are you looking for a similar opportunity to create community and engage on campus? Just because you might live far away, it doesn't mean you cannot have meaningful interactions throughout the summer! Check out our blogs, twitter, website, and facebook if you want to connect with any of the RED Zone Ambassadors! Or, if you live near campus, come by the RED Zone anytime. Have a friendly conversation with us. Ask us whatever questions you may have. We’ll even help you get set up on YU Connect so you can reach out and meet other York students.


I am looking forward to connecting with all of you very soon! :)
