Keeping your relationship fresh, fun and exciting can be a bit of a challenge. This struggle can be much harder when attending college; class, extra curricular's and, most agitating of all, a complete lack of extra money can make Date Night in college seem like an impossibility. Luckily, there are many date ideas that cost little-to-no money, and are pretty easy to pull off.
