The College Community

With the end of July both college freshman as well as upper class returnee’s will begin planning for the return to campus life. For those in the Greek system that usually is about a week prior to registration. No matter what part of the college community you are involved with it will include food and money.

One “must have” dorm or apartment item for the fall is College Cooking with Julie. This is a cookbook written by a college student at the end of her undergraduate program—it is a virtual survivor’s guide to food for college kids on a budget and with limited kitchen facilities.

Julie Hoffman wrote the book after watching friends at Auburn University burn through their money each month by overspending on junk food with little thought about how they would eat the rest of the month. So if you are going back to school, or just going for the first time, do yourself a favor and join Julie’s community of healthy and frugal college cuisine.
