<p>Any suggestions for a graduation present for an incoming Macalester student? I was thinking of a gift certificate to some place students frequent (coffee shop or restaurant), a must have Macalester sweatshirt or a gift certificate to a place to buy college dorm stuff that is nearby. All suggestions welcome! Thanks.</p>
<p>How about a gift certificate to Shish or Coffee News – both popular restaurant/coffee places a block from the campus?</p>
<p>Two suggestions: </p>

A bus pass-although apparently you have to buy this through the school:
" Ride the bus or light rail! Check out the online Metro transit website to plan your trip and for route information. Remember to pick up a transfer when you get on - it’s good for 2.5 hours! Stop by the Info Desk in the Campus Center to buy Super Saver bus passes."
