<p>How common is it for people to have magazine subscription in college? Do they just go to the mail room to pick it up?</p>
<p>At my school, very common. And your school will assign you a campus mailbox where you receive magazines and other mail. Your school should also have a mail center that receives packages for you. So subscribe away, as long as you know your new mailing address.</p>
<p>I have no idea what other students get in their mailbox. My roommate had like four magazine subscriptions. I don’t have any magazine subscriptions but I do netflix. It’s nice to have a reason to check your mail, since you have to do it anyway.</p>
<p>I don’t get this question… You go to wherever they deliver your mail–usually a mailbox and pick it up.
Kind of straight forward. </p>
<p>As for actual subscriptions, I don’t pay attention to what other students get from their boxes. </p>
<p>However, you can get dirt cheap subscriptions (like $2 for two years worth) from eBay. They’re sold as “gift certificates” though since selling subscriptions on eBay isn’t allowed–but it’s the exact same thing.</p>
<p>^ You can get subscriptions for free. There are a lot of sites that send some information about yourself to the company and they decide whether they would like to offer you free subscriptions or not. I get maxim, the economist, forbes, business week, popular science, discover, scientific america, and time all at no cost.</p>
<p>^ Wow. What websites?</p>
<p>What if you get like Playboy subscription 
do people at the mail room look at you weirdly XD</p>
