1. Stop by the Hawkeye room at 12pm on Tuesdays.

Stop in there for cookies, popcorn, cocoa, coffee, and other small snacks, courtesy of the University of Iowa’s Campus Activities Board (CAB)

2. Stop by one of the University’s student organization fairs, job fairs, open houses, research exhibits, seminars, etc.

There is almost always some kind of an event going on, and refreshments are almost always served. Plus you might actually get some useless information from one of the events as a bonus.

3. Download the Casey’s General Store app.

It has a free game that gives you 20 credits each day and allows you to win free prizes, such as granola bars, energy drinks, beverages, candy, etc.

4. Sign up for a Bruegger’s Bagels email subscription.

They give you a free bagel with cream cheese for joining, and another one on your birthday. They also give you 3 free bagels on their annual anniversary/birthday. In other words, you can make several email accounts, and get some free bagels whenever you spend all your money on texts books and run out of ramen.

5. If you are an honors student, you can get a free lunch when you attend the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council seminar.

They are every Thursday from 12-1pm, and the topics being discussed are genuinely interesting to listen to as you chow down your free food.

6. Download the Pocket Points app.

You can get free food from places like New Pioneer Food Co-Op (cookies, bananas, and apples), and also get great discounts on clothing, food, and other local and online vendors just for not being on your phone during class.

7. Download the Shopkick app.

You can get points for shopping at your favorite stores, or even just for scanning items in the store and entering them. The points you earn can be used for gift cards for your groceries or for gift cards to restaurants like Papa John’s and The Cheesecake Facotry.

8. The Coralville Chik Fil A gives out free chicken sandwiches from 11-2 on Tuesdays!

Stop by and eat more Chickn.

9. The UI Gardening Club gives away free fresh vegetables to students.

Look out for their emails regarding the events.

10. Finally, there are always tons of clubs hosting meetings and events most nights.

Explore something new and enjoy free pizza and refreshments courtesy of the clubs while doing so.

With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
