"Rocket Thrift Shop is awesome," said Zacarias Salas, a senior in the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation. I've been able to put together a few outfits from the clothes that I've gotten, as well as ties and a coffee pot to use at home. The absolute best part is it's all free to students."
