Eastern University: Staycation

As a college student it can be incredibly difficult to find the time, or money, to go on a vacation. A great alternative for a vacation, is a staycation. This is possibly the best choice for a broke college student, who wants to have a fun weekend.

In my opinion, this is the best plan for a staycation based at Eastern University.

1. Take a train to Philly, and plan to spend most of the day there.
2. Take advantage of the four squares in Philly.
• Washington Square
• City park with memorials to George Washington and unnamed soldiers of the revolution.
• Franklin Square
• Has a fountain, mini-golf, and a carousel
• Logan Square
• Has a large fountain, statues, and garden style benches.
• Rittenhouse Square
• Famous for greenery, and is a great place for walks. This square also frequently houses markets and events.
3. Many places offer discounts on admission for college students, with ID.
• Philadelphia Museum of Art
• Admission is $14
• The Wilma Theater
• $10 tickets
• Magic Gardens 
• $5 tickets
• Irvine Produce
• 10% off purchace
4. Enjoy your time in the city.
5. Take the train back.
6. Order Insomnia Cookies, incredibly late at night.
7. Have a great time with some friends!

This, in my opinion, is a great staycation for a college student.
