At Loyola University New Orleans you get one \get out of jail free\ card. The school will bail you out of jail and provide you with a lawyer once in your four years at school.

What a great post. That really brings back memories. I would trade a lot of the perks I have today for a buttload of free skiing.

I like the free computer strategy, I think few colleges do that, my brother goes to a christian college, giving free laptops is the last thing they would do for students

Clearly many of these perks are “free” or really simply paid through by fees added onto your tuition. Nothing in life is ever really free. That what my mother taught me…

The skiing sounds good and so does the Golf. But the laundry is probably the biggest benefit to anyone who is really trying to get an education. I can remember many days going to the basement to find some idiot had removed all my clothes and thrown them out on a filthy table because they couldn’t wait 2 minutes for me to return.

I know that MSU charged .75 per load for laundry.
No free golf, no free anything.
Oh wait we did get free frostbite!

[...] may be an exception in extravagance, other colleges do seem to be tiptoeing in its pearly wake. Mental Floss reports that things like free laundry and ski passes, personalized birthday cakes, reduced [...]

@Terri: for a school like that, I’m sure the tuition is enormous!

My school, College of the Ozarks, has the best perk of all – free tuition. Students work fifteen hours a week. This gives you one of the perks mentioned; you can send your laundry to the campus laundry and get it done for you if you want (I usually remove my underwear from the basket first).

We also can go on free trips. Any trip offered by the college is free for students (you only have to pay for your passport and spending money). I went with the agriculture department to England and Ireland last year. The best way to go on trips though is with one of the music groups; they go to Europe at least every other year.

So ha! Free tuition, free laundry, and free trips!

Cottey College is a small women’s college with just over 300 students. The size means they can offer perks others don’t. Sure, we have maid service and a five-star chef (I promise it’s the best campus food you will ever eat) and each student lives in apartment-style suites. But the trump card is that Cottey sends the entire senior class to Europe on Spring Break. This week they have been in Rome and Florence, Italy. Past trips have included Madrid, London, and Paris. What other school sends you to Europe free?
