Before anyone freaks out: I’m good. FAFSA check is nice, EBT is loaded, food is NOT an issue. I’m not starving, I’m not desperate, and I’m not asking for sympathy. I’m just optimizing costs like a finance major should.
I’m a senior in finance, on campus 5 days a week, and yeah — I’m in a frat. Been in a frat, still in a frat, frat this, frat that. That said, I’m 24 now and honestly reconsidering the whole thing because I’m starting to feel too old for some of the childish nonsense… but let’s be real, the frat personality doesn’t just disappear overnight.
Here’s the setup:
I go to class during the day, lift at the gym (obviously), shower there, study in the library until it closes around 10, then head back to my car and park somewhere secure overnight. I already paid my dues for the parking structure, so I use it and rotate spots to stay low-key and respectful.
Important disclaimer because I know how comment sections are:
I do NOT want advice telling me to “rethink this,” “just live with your parents,” or “go home.” My parents are insufferable and I would choose this a million times over before moving back. This is a deliberate decision and I’m completely fine with it.
I’m doing this to stay enrolled, keep working Uber Eats on off days, avoid unnecessary rent, and graduate without blowing money for no reason.
What I actually want advice on:
Sleeping comfortably in a car, staying organized, safety and parking etiquette, routines that make this sustainable, or anything else that genuinely helped you if you’ve done something similar.
If you’ve lived in your car, done van life, or have real, practical tips, I’d appreciate it.
Senior finance major. Frat guy (possibly semi-retired). Still lifting. Still grinding. Open to useful advice.
