This week, here are four more\u00a0free things that you get just for being a U of T student (three of which you may not be able to use right now due to the\u00a0lack of free time that comes with the end of the semester).\r\n\r\nWrite for free: Microsoft office<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIt took me three years of being a U of T student to realize that we all get the entire Microsoft Office suite for free. This came in handy a couple weeks back when I needed to make a graph and, being the the history\u00a0student I am, did not have excel.\r\n\r\nTo get it just log onto your webmail and click the gear in the top right corner.\r\n\r\n\"screeshot<\/a>You can even install it on up to 5 computers!\u00a0\"a\r\n\r\nWatch for free: movies on Criterion on demand<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis is a new thing at U of T just this year I believe, In addition to the media commons at Robarts<\/a>\u00a0U of T students now have access to a free online database of movies.\u00a0If you are on U of T wifi all you do is go to the criterion on demand website<\/a>\u00a0and slick sign in and you will be automatically signed in.\r\n\r\nThere is actually a pretty good selection of movies in categories such as Comedy (below)\"screenshot<\/a>or Action and Adventure (the Chipmunks movies are in this category for reasons that are unknown to me)\"examples<\/a>\r\n\r\nVisit for free: the Royal Ontario Museum and the Gardiner Museum\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nBoth of these museums are practically on campus and both offer free tuesdays with your student card.\u00a0\"image<\/a>\"front<\/a>\r\n\r\nRead for Free: Books at U of T Libraries<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI know that reading for fun may seem like a foreign concept right now, but in a few short weeks exams will be over and we'll all be wondering what to do with all our new found free \u00a0time. If you're staying in Toronto over the summer, even if you aren't taking summer classes, you still have access to all the U of T libraries. In addition to having scholarly books, the U of T libraries also have a lot of really good novels.\r\n\r\n\"screenshot\"screenshotLast summer\u00a0I read the Secret History and Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore and absolutely loved them. Both are availible at Robarts. As soon as exams finish this year I plan to read The Martian by Andy Weir which is available at Laidlaw Library.\r\n\r\n\"screenshotIn addition to all of these, the It's Free U of T Twitter<\/a> is a handy tool for keeping up to date on all the events on campus that offer free food or drinks.\r\n\r\nWhat are your favourite student deals U of T?
