Last week was pretty dry on free food, but this week has plenty of free food to offer on Tuesday and Wednesday! Get acquainted with student organizations, dance at a masquerade and more, all while enjoying free food this week.

There is no shortage of events to attend during USF's Week of Welcome. Even better, there is also no shortage of events offering free food! We've compiled a list of these events for you to take advantage of. Don't miss out on a single free meal this week!

Hungry like the wolf? Here’s food right at your claws.

A week-long celebration of costume parties, homecoming festivities and socials are happening at USF. Enjoy free food and entertainment without a "spook" from your bank account statement.

Have a happy Halloween and not a hungry one- dig in!

Can you believe it’s already October? Yikes. The coming change of seasons should not be unwelcomed, however, because of the many free grub options that come with the cooler weather!

Whether you travel to the Scottish Highlands with Bulls Nite Out or show off your “Caribbitalian” dance moves with Club Creole, you’re sure to have a great time with this week’s Free Food Friday events.

Can’t buy groceries because you just spent every dime you had on textbooks last week? Don’t sweat it! Free Food Friday is here with free food from around the globe— and its right around the corner.

It seems as swell a season as any to steal some sweet snacks as we snub out the spring semester. Of course, I’m referring to this week’s Free Food Friday!

Abundant breakfasts? You’ve got it. Much-embraced excesses of energy? USF Car Meets has you covered. A plethora of pastries? But, of course!

It’s USF’s unofficial cram-week, and we’ve got you covered throughout with heaps of helpings and multitudes of meals to give you that extra fix of food fuel.

Get ready for a week full of bustling banquets and emotional eateries as we bring on the summer in this week’s Free Food Friday!

This time around, students can catch Take Back the Night in the Marshall Student Center Amphitheater, catch a free flick at the WUSF Station and get in touch with their inner loco at M.A.S.A.’s final festivities.

Time is running out to take advantage of this spring’s feasting opportunities! Stop wasting time NOT attending the free food you rightfully deserve!

To Whom It May Concern: It’s Friday. Friday.

Gotta get down on Friday, with some delicious free food! As you’re reading this, let me also remind you that there are only THREE WEEKS until this lovely spring semester closes. Only three weeks left to feast for free and get involved with some of the fantastic events our campus organizations host.

I know, it’s sad to see this semester fly by so quickly, but that’s all the reason to take full advantage of what time is left. Close your books for an hour or 10, you’ve studied enough. Get out there and grab some grub!

Friday, April 13:

BULLSTOCK ‘12
7 p.m.
The Meadows Field

Korean Night Festival

MSC Amphitheater
Details: Keeping up the pace with USF’s previous eastern-oriented outings is the Korean-American Student Association’s Korean Night Festival! If you’ve missed any of this semester’s previous cultural events and the delicious munchies that come with it, you have no excuse to miss this one. Students can embrace many aspects of Korean culture at the event, from games, fashion, performances, and (do I really have to say it?) free food!

Soul Bowl: #Recess

Active Minds USF Presents: National Stress Out Day!
11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
MSC Amphitheatre
Details: Having problems with stress recently? Who am I kidding, of course you are! It’s mid-April! Finals season! Thankfully, we have organizations around campus that recognize our stressful dilemmas, like Active Minds, that take particular aim at eliminating those stresses. Active Minds will occupy the MSC Amphitheater all midday, providing stress-relieving activities, “NO STRESS” goodie bags and free food and drinks, including pizza, muffins, and delicious smoothies. Surely, your busy study-schedule can be put on hold for an hour or two, as you join Active Minds at their direly necessary stress-relieving event!

Only five weeks left of classes? This spring is flying by way too fast. Slow down and add some extra weight to your bodily aircraft with this week’s free food opportunities!

This week, you can dive into a foreign culture, reenact “You Got Served” for 17 hours, or even learn how to save our friends in the animal kingdom from harsh captivity. Animal kingdom, not Disney’s theme park Animal Kingdom. I’m sure they take superb care of their wildlife. That big tree’s a little much, though. Foliage Kingdom?

 Pretty exciting week, I’d say.

What are you waiting for?! Your first free food fortuity is going on right now, in the Marshall Student Center ballroom! Close your browser and get over there!

It’s that time again, folks! It’s Friday, and no doubt you’re thinking “Boy, I’m hungry, but don’t have a meal plan…” or, “Where can I find some cost-efficient meals this week? And why is the Free Food Friday writer so handsome?”

Whether you choose to pig-out-and-protect with N.I.T.E., or mix a chill pill into your Dippin’ Dots at Bulls Nite Out: Cloud 9 Relaxation Party, there are numerous options this week for enjoying banquets on a budget, feasts without funds, and eats without expenses.

What are you waiting for? Get out there, make some new friends, and embrace the many opportunities our school organizations have to offer!
