Hot campus dates!

Just because you are in university and money might be tight, it doesn't mean you can't go on some fun and even chic dates -- just stick to your campus.

By Jennifer Weatherhead

Hit the pub: Nearly every campus has one... the mainstay for happy hour on Fridays it can appear to be a noisy spot for a date. But depending on what kind of date you're on (a just-getting-to-know-you date, or a more intimate one) the pub can actually be a perfect date spot. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed date go on a busier night to avoid any awkward silences. An added bonus: chances are you will see someone you know on a busy night, so if you need to split or an escape plan, you will have an easy way out. Looking for a more quiet evening? Check out the pub on a quieter night or time (think a Monday or Tuesday or even early evening). You will get some great cheap food and drinks while getting to know your date

Go to the game!: Football, soccer, basketball, chances are there's a sport team of some kind at your university. What better way to spend some time on a date than to cheer on the home team. Sure, snuggling up on hard bleachers may not sound like your ideal date spot, but he will be totally into it and you will get to see what he's like when he really enjoys something. University games are rowdy, loud, exciting and always fun, so it's a great place to "get to know" each other in a casual environment (bring your college or university gear along and see which one of you has more team spirit). If the home team wins (and all has gone well date-wise), head out with the rest of the crowd for drinks afterwards.

Hit the books: Libraries -- full of books, whispers and hushes, they are meant for studying and sometimes two heads studying are better than one. Find a quite corner to settle into and read with each other, compare notes, hold hands, whisper into each other's ear -- but hold off on the nooky! You may just find that you will learn more about each other by whispering and staring into each other's eyes than about that book in front of you. (Note: if it's a really important test, make sure you have an hour or two of alone-time for studying!)
