 Should I bring my own lunch or buy it? Bring your own if you want to save some money. You answered it, I guess. I am a terrible cook and I just rather eat out and I know it's terrible for my wallet but there's a lot of good food on campus. Spoil for choice really so don't stress if you want to eat here. Take advantage of that student card getting that discount free stuff as well. My lunch just because I get really tempted with all the food on campus. I've got siblings who are in school and they always have lunches packed so I'm just like do mine as well. I thought I was going to stick out carrying a backpack with a lunch box but everybody does it. Everybody's broke. There's a million microwaves. Oh and Market Day, five dollar lunches. Oh yes, five dollar lunches. That's such a good deal as well. Five dollar lunches.
