Before anyone asks:

The professor salary web page is here:
http://www.sos.mo.gov/BlueBook/2005-2006/personnel.asp

The restaurants that give a discount are:
Hardees (Free value meal with purchase of burger)
Taco Bell (10%)
Lee’s Chicken (10%)
Huddle House (10%)
Arbee’s (10%)
Long John Silvers (10%)
Steak and Shake (10%)
Burger King (10%)

If there are others please post them, these are all that I can recall at the moment…

Though not a restaurant, Chefs Pantry (Owned by a fellow Chartwells employee that made Chartwells food editable)
10% off most items (not including alcohol)

Try to purchase your book at University Book and Supply. Generally cheaper, better service, and much more polite then the University Book store. Unfortunately UMR will not allow them to charge your student account (and or they would charge UB&S too much to do so).

The best Chinese restaurant in town is Mandarin Garden (past Wal-Mart coming from campus) in my personal opinion. STAY AWAY from Lucky House!!! (IMO)

Hey, don't be bad mouthing Lucky House. Fast, cheap, and fairly decent chinese food AND on top of all that you don't have to leave your car... doesn't get much better for a poor lazy college student.

We are talking about the food right?

Chinese place across from McNutt hall does 10% of lunch buffet. IMO the food there isn't so good but close for the dorm people.

Best food in town is El Rodeo!!!!! Cheap, fast and you don't get the shits like you do after taco bell.

That is about my favorite place to eat in town... ofcourse all I ever eat is sweet and sour chicken and white rice.

If you live in TJ North, you can fit several standard size (750 mL) bottles of tasty beverages on the ledge above the rail track on your closet door.

dont smoke in lounges (unless permitted)
dont post directions to make a hookah out of a sobe bottle
dont play loud music if your RA is around/anal

if you dont want to stick out as a freshman, dont act so damn excited about college, i.e. being at class 20 minutes early, yelling to everyone your drunk after 2 shots, clump in huge groups of freshman. Meet people have some good ole times.

oh and unless they changed it, meal points are taken at:
Dominos
Little Caesars
Papa Johns
some more but thats all i ever used them at.

Don't be a douchebag to people you live with...that causes a lot of problems that you prolly wouldnt expect.

And you can be excited about college and not stick out too much. Maybe having a winning football team will actually start to build some school spirit (I know, what a novel concept).

Although I dont live in the dorms anymore (thank god), please remember, the elevators arent toys, jumping up and down in them makes trouble for yourself and everyone else. Also dont forget to shower.

Remember, it's okay to zombify yourself in front of your computer for 20 hours a day, but speaking with another person (not counting your roommate) at least once a week is good for the psyche.

Oh yeah, and don't be a bandwidth whore.
