University residences (dorms ?) and Frat houses. Just be honest and straight out ask if you can sleep on the floor before moving on tomorrow. Oft times you will be offered a bed and grub. Travelwise, checking out the bulletin board at the Students' Union Building or the campus bar will offer info about how to get on the bus to go to a rally or protest - just be honest and don't try to fake being a student.

I used to take my BADLY beat up Bug about halfway to where I wanted to go, raise the engine hood and hitch-hike. I would explain to the Samaritan that I had to get to my buddy's place in Xtown because my buddy was a mechanic. If the Sam was going there, it was never any problem. Free ride to my destination and free ride back to my bug. Gas for the trip at half price. Wouldn't try it these twenty-five years later, though. Might cost an arm and a Bug.
