College Burger Night

If you want a great quality burger at a great price, make your way over to Table 42 on Wednesday nights.  This trendy burger joint in Mizner is known for its Italian kitchen, varietal wine bar, and of course, its delicious burgers.

The great thing about Table 42, is that every single Wednesday night is "College Night," especially suited for FAU Owls who crave 100% Harris Ranch Farmed meat at only $5.  So skip your trip to Burger King, and upgrade to Table 42.  You'll come hungry, leave happy (and so will your wallet). See reviews and more on Table 42.

Manis, Pedis, Waxing and More for Less

If you're having trouble finding a great place to get your nails and waxing done in Boca without spending $100 then look no further! Artisan Nails has amazing deals for college students.  They offer $25 manicure/pedicures, which is fabulous since most places charge over $25 for a pedicure alone! Also, Artisan has deals like $15 for eyebrow wax and underarms, $30 for bikini, and $40 for arms and legs.

 It is located five minutes from the FAU campus, next to Yokohama Sushi on Palmetto and Federal.  Some more things I love about Artisan Nails, are their super-friendly service, the clean atmosphere, and unlimited nail polish options.  They have both Essie and OPI brands, two of the best in my opinion.

People described Artisan as "friendly, professional, reasonable cost".  See for yourself! Visit this nail joint and you'll be ready for the weekend in no-time, and your wallet will thank you! Located at:

Movie Theatre or Palace?

Cinemark Palace 20 is both! This movie theatre is by far one of the nicest I've ever been to.   It looks and feels like you're in a palace, and is the perfect spot for a relaxing night out.  "The Palace" is always showing the newest movies.

 If you want to splurge a bit, this movie theatre allows you to watch movies like a King or Queen, with their Premier Tickets for $20.  Every dollar is worth it though, because you get balcony level seating in oversized love-seat comfy sofas, and a full bar and restaurant at your service.  Now THAT is what i call going to the movies!

Check out their website! Also, look at what people have to say about The Palace.

Day Walking on Lincoln Road

If you're feeling spontaneous on a weekend morning or afternoon, grab some friends and head down to South Beach for the day! Yes, I know South Beach is known for its fabulous night life, but it's super fun during the day too! Lincoln Road is an outdoor shopping strip that goes on for miles.

It is filled with amazing shops and restaurants, and is one of my favorite places to "people-watch" (Miami is quite entertaining- not only the activities.. the people, too!) From ice cream parlors to pizza, sushi, and TONS of shopping.  So check it out for a day of fun, and stay for the night if you're up for it! There are plenty of bars and night clubs on the strip.

Here's what people have to say about Lincoln Road! Bring your wallet, bring a smile.  Have a blast, and thank me later!

Boca Town Center Shopping Fun

Who doesn't love the mall?! On a college budget, it's not the best idea to go all the time, but if you're human, you have to! Town Center at Boca Raton is the second largest mall in South Florida, with 220 specialty stores.  Even if you're just going to window shop, this mall is definitely something worth seeing.

 Daydream in Tiffany's and Louis Vuitton, wander about in Bloomie's, or shop at a great price in Forever21.  This mall has both upscale and low scale shops, fitting for everyones needs.  Even the food court has great options! Middle eastern, deli, Italian, and a delicious bakery are just a few of the fabulous options in the food court.   So make your way down to Town Center and enjoy!

Bonkers for Boomers

If you haven't been to Boomers yet, you haven't lived.  This amazing entertainment facility is a great time, every time.  Upon entering this heaven on earth, you will not be prepared for what you're about to experience.  Miniature golf, go karts, bumper boats, bowling, laser tag, a rock wall, kid's playground, and a larger-than-life game room are just a few of the activities Boomers offers.  Also, Boomers will give you 5000 FREE game tickets on your birthday! Best birthday present ever, if you ask me! So go with a friend, go with your little sister, or go with the kids you're babysitting to keep them entertained (and entertain yourself).  You are sure to have a blast at Boomers, and you may never want to leave.  Check out their website and get excited for the fun!

The Happiest of Hours

If you're just getting off work on a Friday afternoon, head to The Cove for a drink or two. This laid back waterfront restaurant/bar has been Friday's hot spot for years.  It offers half off all drinks and free appetizers from 4 until 7 p.m., and the food is delicious!

Better To Study At, My Dear

Studying for midterms? Sick and tired of the FAU library, running into everyone you know and being forced to socialize instead of do what you're actually there for? Then check out The Boca Raton Library, located at 1501 NW Spanish River Blvd. You will study in blissful peace and quiet, at a gorgeous location where you won't run into half of your classmates.  It provides a more speedy internet than the FAU library, as well as more broad resources, better air-conditioning, and an all around more satisfying experience.  This library is sure to fit your studying needs, and help you on your way to Acing those exams.

$10 Tuesdays at 303!

So now that you know (and have hopefully been) to Club 303 on Thursdays, it's time for you to check out their new TUESDAY specials! Starting tonight, Club 303 is hosting $10 Tuesdays.  That's right, $10, All-You-Can-Drink beer and well drinks all night, for everyone.  If that's not a deal then I don't know what is!

And as if that wasn't enough, if you're there before 11:00 p.m., you'll be treated to $10 All-You-Can-Eat SUSHI! But wait! if that wasn't enough, you'll get complimentary valet, and hookahs are available all night. So come by the closest club to FAU for a great night this, and every Tuesday.  See you all there!

620 Subs

After sitting in classes for hours on end, college students tend to work up quite the appetite.  620 Subs is a great place to get a combination of deli fresh meats, breads, veggies, and other condiments.

For only $5.05, you will get a filling 6 inch sub of your choice, chips, and a drink! This is by far the best offer for a sub meal around FAU, and is as delicious as it is satisfying.  Also, since it's only 5 minutes from campus, it is super convenient if you're hungry inbetween classes, and you're guaranteed to make it there and back with no problem!

 Another great thing about 620 Subs is that they're welcoming and love the students as much as we love them.  You'll notice the walls stocked with FAU gear and sorority/fraternity t-shirts and propaganda, just to show their school spirit and appreciation for all the students who give them business.  It's an overall great place to eat when your brain is tired and your stomach (and wallet) are empty.

Here's what people are saying about 620 Subs

Fashion Footwear

Ladies! Everyone knows that a great night out requires a fabulous outfit and a great pair of shoes. Also known as "8.88," Fashion Footwear shoe store in Deerfield Beach is heaven on earth for a shoe lover with a college budget.  Each pair of shoes and pumps is only $8.88- a fraction of the price you would spend at Nordstrom's, Dillard's, or even Traffic, another discount shoe retailer.  The store also offers discount boots, all of which are $22.88.  The best thing about it, is that these shoes are not out of style by any means.  They are the same fashion-forward trends you will see at stores like Saks, but for a fraction of the price!  You will walk into this store completely unaware of what you are about to witness, and walk out with a heavy wallet, new trendy shoes, and a smile on your face.  Check out these two pairs I recently purchased, and thank me later.
