Whatever you do, don't drive on it. You'll end up costing yourself alot more money in the long run. Someone at college has got to have a jack you can use. Heck even see if there is an auto shop on campus that can help. Or atleast offer a jack.

The "fix a flat" will goop up the inside of the tire and they can't patch it. No they won't fix it for free!
It appears you have chrome wheels. If so, BIIIIIIIIG mistake driving with those on in the winter! Salt eats thru the chrome at every little nick and the chrome leaks air. Don't even bother asking me how I know.

Chances are you do have a nail in your tire if it won't hold air for long, but if it's a slow leak, it might be the wheel leaking air, not the tire.

And why is it again that you don't have a spare tire and a jack?????

Or you can go to the local auto parts/ walmarts...and get a plug kit? and just plug the tire yourself. (temporarily til you can get to the tire store ) Then just remove it (wheel and tire)and fill it up at a friends (if he has a compressor) or the corner gas station. Theres always somewhere to fill a tire with air!

I think youve been given plenty of options to figure a way to take care of it !
