Valentine's Day for College Students

This time of year is a popular time to throw your loved one a little extra appreciation. It’s Valentine’s Day! You’re bound to see hearts everywhere and pink and red galore. You might feel pressured to spend tons of money showing your boyfriend or girlfriend a great time. Living on a college student’s budget doesn’t really allow for that so you have to find more creative, and oftentimes more interesting, date night ideas. Don’t worry! We’ve rounded up a few of the best Valentine’s Day ideas for couples on a budget.

Take your date on a scientific exploration at the Science Spectrum Museum. They’ll certainly be surprised and impressed by your originality. Everything in the museum is meant to be explored and experimented with so this is definitely a hands on kind of date! Not only will you come out thoroughly entertained, you’ll probably learn a thing or two! In addition to the museum, you can also attend an Omnimax movie. With the enormous screen, it can feel like you’re soaring above the scene or right in the middle of the action. There are a couple of fabulous shows that you can attend this Valentine’s Day like Robots, Mysteries of the Unseen World and Wonders of the Arctic. You and your date will want to come back every week to see every single Omnimax movie! See a schedule of the movies and times here. The Science Spectrum Museum is only 10 minutes away from ULofts Apartments.

If you’d prefer something extra low-key, we recommend staying in! Ordering in some delicious food and watching some romantic or not-so-romantic movies is a fun way to spend your Valentine’s Day. Netflix has a fantastic selection of both kinds of movies depending on your feelings towards the holiday. (Pro V-Day and Anti V-Day) Order in some tasty Chipotle for dinner and enjoy each other’s company without being bothered by the company of strangers. It might not be an exciting outing but it’s still romantic and much less stressful!

For those flying solo this weekend, you might think there aren’t any fun options for you. Not only are the above options perfect for single folks too, we have one more option that we think you’ll love. Painting With A Twist is a fabulous option for couples or single people. On Saturday the 13th they’re hosting several painting options that can be done as couples and one that can be done by yourself. If you choose to do the couple’s painting, it’s a great way to bond with your loved one. If you choose the single painting, it’s a great way to meet new people while painting and drinking! You really can’t go wrong. See their schedule here and book your spot early.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a stressful holiday. You don’t have to worry about not having enough money to wow your date or about not even having a date. There are plenty of fun things to do! How do you spend Valentine’s Day?
