It seems that the common joke everybody says and gives a small chuckle about is that all college students are poor... "I can't go to the movies I'm a 'poor' college student"... "Hey man! Do you have the new call of duty yet?"... "No broski, I'm a poor college student." ... In all reality, your not poor.. your just choosing to spend your money on school (or your parents money) and then you tell your parents you need money for books, pens, and paper when really you want to go skydiving with your friends next weekend.... but thats besides my point.. My point is that I think I've found a solution to save some extra money while at college, and it will make a great story after college. This is that your live in your car! Its so simple and you'll save soooo much money on housing! This is how it will go down:
First your need a car like this

After you acquire the above sweet ride, you now rig the inside of it to have a twin bed, a 50 inch tv or larger and a satellite dish for tv plus and xbox. You will then need to find a close power outlet to plug into so you can power the lights, tv, computer, ac/heater, and vribating bed (if you must). Now your probably thinking, But Drew where will you go to the bathroom and take a shower and eat and study and make friends? At your schools recreation/gym center thingy there are public bathrooms at your disposal for daily usage.. so given a small walking distance its really not a big problem. Eating is pretty simple, meal plan... restaurants, friends refrigerators. Then studying.. come on.. the library? Oh and making friends, lets just say don't be that creeper that lives in his van.. and then you'll do fine.
See, that seems pretty sweet. Think of the positives: no roommates, you can make as much noise as you want after 11:30pm, no visiting hours to follow (or if you view them only as a suggestion), you can move where ever you want to, and your saving money... for things like books and supplies....!!! So there you go, a way to save money in college... I should tell Dave Ramsey about this....
You could be like this guy!
Peace out

I really am a poor college student. My parents don't have money either. I had to do a double take on the first van picture. At first, it looked like this Star Wars van that's on the Ave, which is street on campus where the homeless people and drug dealers live.
