We recently discovered that there exists an entire world of free schwag that comes with being a Columbia student (and we’re not talking about those Freshman Step Up! shirts). All it takes is a .edu email address and you’re ready to go. Here’s a little list we’ve put together of free/discounted goods and services offered by various University programs:

@Anonymous abortions
@Anonymous You forgot discount Broadway and museum tickets.
@Anonymous discount is not free
@Anonymous 50% off spotify premium isn’t free either, but they included that
@lalala Where to get free Plan B from?
@totallywithyou Health services, you just have to speak to a nurse. I know that sounds terrifying, but you just go up to the urgent care front desk, fill out a piece of paper that says what you need and hand it to the receptionist. You never have to say “plan B” in public.
@totallywithyou also to clarify that’s Health Services in John Jay on the second floor, in the Urgent Care unit (what you see as soon as you walk in and through the first doors).
