How Students Can Print Without Owning a Printer
The smart way to handle assignments and paperwork on campus
You're juggling classes, work, social life, and approximately 47 subscriptions you forgot to cancel. The last thing you need is a $150 printer that only works when Mercury isn't in retrograde. Good news: you don't need one.
The Campus Library Trap
Most students default to campus printing: walk to the library, log into the ancient computer, fight with the print queue, realize you forgot your student card, walk back to your dorm, return, print for $0.10/page. It works, but it's a 30-minute ordeal every time.
The Roommate Printer Gamble
Asking your roommate to use their printer works until: (1) they run out of ink and expect you to split the $50 cartridge, (2) it breaks and now there's tension, or (3) they graduate and take it with them mid-semester.
