4. A stylish bike helmet

If you live off campus, finding a parking spot can be a nightmare, and on-campus housing can be quite a distance from classes. Not to mention how far of a hike it can be from one class to another! Having a bicycle while at college is great way to get around, and with a Bandbox bike helmet and cover, you can look fabulous while doing so!
