Definitely frugal—I went on a college visit five states away completely on my own, using plane tickets that the admissions office bought for me, eating with meal vouchers, and only spending $70 in three days (it would have been $45, but I got tired and sick at the airport and we all know how expensive those are). Moreover, I met my good online friend Kyle at said college, and hung out at a frat, something I never thought I would do (it was a nerd frat).
