I wrote this initially to condense all the advice and info I wish I had received (or had found useful) into one generic article. By no means is this a step-by-step tutorial on how to get through RPI. I'm leaving a lot of the nitty-gritty details out, because it's incredibly important that you go out there, explore, fail, and experiment. (and also because I don't feel like writing too much)

To get all your groceries, unless you have a car, or a willing upperclassman friend, you will have to take the bus. Fortunately all buses are free for students, just make sure to bring your RPI id. It'll ends directly in front of the Walmart, so no need to worry about getting off at the 'correct' stop.

This is more of a side note, but a whole baguette at Panera costs $3 and they give you free butter. If you're studying with a group of friends in the Union, it's incredibly cheap and filling.

## New York City is DIRT Cheap to travel to
+
The best way to travel to NYC, aside from carpooling, is splitting an 8 person Amtrak ticket. Amtrak has group discounts available at amtrak.com/group-travel-discount, where you can get up to 60% off on a bulk order. With this, it's possible to get tickets for as low as around $35 round trip.
