It’s no secret that college kids love a good deal. We like to do fun things, of course, but we also enjoy cheap entertainment. And with Valentine’s Day coming up, there is always a certain pressure of having the “perfect” date that is super luxurious but also not super expensive. Here are some date ideas to help you:
1. Go on a hike. Chattanooga is known as a scenic city, and there are plenty of places near Southern to enjoy your Valentine’s Day. Take a trip up to Lookout Mountain, or stay on campus and walk the Biology Trails. If it’s a nice day, be sure to spend the afternoon enjoying the beauty of nature.
2. Have a picnic. Grab some of your favorite food and head to the park for a Valentine’s picnic, complete with a romantic sunset viewing.
3. Get ice cream. This is a great, cheap date for anyone who loves sweet treats. From Clumpies to the Ice Cream Show, Chattanooga has a great ice cream scene. Stroll through Coolidge Park or walk across the walking bridge while indulging in yummy ice cream and great company.
4. Game Night. Whether it’s board games or video games, game nights are inexpensive and fun. If you’re feeling a bit more competitive, head over to Sir Goony’s for some mini-golf and arcade games.
