Colleges indeed often send out promotional materials to prospective students, which can include items like brochures, stickers, pens, and sometimes T-shirts or other cool pieces. To receive this swag, consider following these steps:

Just wondering. I’ve heard NYU sending a purple folder, some colleges sending free t shirts, a certificate, etc. anyone know which colleges send what, along with their letter of acceptance?

Just google (college name) request info, there should be a link to the college’s website, and a page called request info. Some schools like IU, Virginia tech, Oklahoma state, or the university of South Carolina send some cool things.

For example, the Ivy Leagues (like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton) typically have a reputation for providing goodie bags or free T-shirts during campus tours or special events.

Simmons (woman’s college) sent a beanie with my acceptance, and Stonehill let accepted students request a whole box of free goodies!
