Stay in your room. Go to a park, refill your water bottles with tap water, turn down the heat or turn up the air, walk or ride a bike, turn off your lights when you leave the room, eat noodles, stay away from eating out, shop at discount stores, don't buy newspapers or magazines, and stay away from convience stores, seems like they charge double.

Read "The Complete Tightwad Gazette" FROM THE LIBRARY. There are plenty of websites out there that give tips on frugal living. Some of the main hints I can give are to try to skip eating out (unless you have one of those prepaid meal cards that most universities require students to buy) or to order ice water when you do go out to eat. Do a search on "frugal living" online and there should be plenty of tips. Compulsive buying ends up eating up funds for a lot of college students, especially at convenience stores (and paying on credit cards).

everytime you get money for something like your allowance put at least 10% of it in the bank and in no time you will have saved more money

share an apartment instead of dorm. share cook in instead of eating out. bike or walk instead of driving. minimize your shopping. get a part time job, it keeps you occupied and adds to your allowance.

Don't buy anything you don't need(magazines, decorations for your house, fancy clothes, etc.) Also, save energy in your house(turn lights off when you're not using them, don't keep your refrigerator open when you're not using it, etc.) Lastly, don't run you're car when you're not using it(that help you save gas).
Hope I Helped! :)
