Get together, and go on a nature hike, try swimming in a lake or at the beach, or visit a museum or historical place in your town, usually that is free. You could also get together and play boardgames, cards, or watch movies on tv together. Also some theaters on college campuses have cheap or free movies. So you might try that.

What about going to the park with a soccer ball or to the court with a basketball, or handball? The beach could be another option or everyone could gather together and rent a movie.

I agree go outside for a walk or bike ride or stay inside and play cards or board games

A lot of small towns such as mine show free movies in the park during the summer!  Or, you can just have a movie night at home!

And when you finish all these suggested free activities, you end up just as broke as when you started. Doesn't anyone want to take responsibility for their status in life? Is it someone else's fault you are broke? Why not use the time you have to CHANGE your situation instead of wasting it?

That by far is very very true as well.

Considering that she's talking about poor college students, I think the mere fact that they're going to school is evidence that they are trying to change their situation in the future. However life isn't all about work; you sometimes do need to do something fun as well if for no other reason than to let off some stress. Although I do like your suggestion of publishing a booklet of free activities to do, and then sell them to other college students. In fact, they may consider putting in a section of making extra spending money, like joining programs like FC!
