10 Weekend Plans for Pitt Students Under $6

It's Friday night, you're broke because you just spent $100000 on textbooks, and there's nothing to do - right? Wrong! Pitt students have access to tons of entertainment options both on and off campus. Check out our roundup of the Top 10 Weekend Plans for Pitt Students Under $6.

1. Pitt Football, Basketball, and other sports. 2015 Season Tickets for Penn State Football for students $218. Pitt tickets? Only $25! For the six home games on the schedule, that comes out to less than $5 per game, or even less when you count the free Panther Pitt T-shirt. Oakland Zoo basketball tickets are only $5, but they're sold via a lottery system. Tickets for many other sports (like Quidditch) are cheaper or even free - plus, attending less popular games will earn you Loyalty Points that help in the basketball lottery system.
   
2. Sketch and Improv at the Arcade Comedy Theater. We love the Arcade because it's easy to reach by bus, they have a wide variety of live comedy every week, and they offer a student discount that brings tickets down to only $5. Better yet, if you're not sure about buying a ticket, you can check them out at the quarterly Gallery Crawls (the Pennysavers will be going down as a group September 25) for free. 
   
3. Movie Night at Harris Theatre. Located right next to the Arcade, Harris Theatre offers student tickets indie and foreign films for $5. Their popcorn is also surprising cheap (by movie theater standards), so feel free to splurge on some extra butter. During the Gallery Crawls, they usually offer free short films on a loop. 
   
4. Free Museum and Conservatory visits sponsored by Pitt Arts. 
5. Special events hosted by student clubs and organizations.
6. Salsa Fridays at CLO (21+)
7. Pizza and Netflix
