What college student doesn’t love a good freebie? Here’s a list of the top 10 places to get free food on your birthday:
1.) Dunkin’ Donuts
If you’re a coffee addict like me, or if you just want a special treat to perk up your day, you can head to one of the two Dunkin’ Donuts within walking distance of campus to get free food on your birthday.

There’s nothing like a smoothie to brighten your day! Jamba Juice now offers a free fruit juice of smoothie as a birthday gift.
Just sign up for Jamba Insider Rewards, and they’ll send you a coupon.
7.) Bruegger’s Bagels
One of my personal favorites, Bruegger’s authentic New York-Style Bagels can be found in the heart of Storrs Center.
By joining their eClub called the Inner Circle, you’ll receive a free bagel with cream cheese on your birthday.

UConn’s favorite burger and fries joint is located just steps from the main campus.

9.) Wilson Hall (South Campus)
If you’re celebrating your 21st birthday on campus, be sure to pick up your free birthday box from UConn Wellness and Prevention a couple of days before your birthday.
Rumor has it there might be some edible treats, as well as other gifts inside. The box is available beginning two weeks prior to your birthday.
10.) Ted’s Restaurant and Bar
Another exclusive gift for those of you turning 21: a free t-shirt from Ted’s only on your 21st birthday.
They don’t offer any free drinks, but maybe you can convince your friends to foot the bill. After all, you only turn 21 once!
