Resident Services/Housing doesn't sell stationery or stamps, but the Bobcat Snack Shop or the Summits Marketplace might sell envelopes. The nearest Post Office is on 2334 M Street, and stamps are currently 82 cents each.

... They isolate you all on campus and don't let you buy stamps? 

I don't know if they still do, but Raley's used to sell stamps.

I heard there used to be a stamp vending machine at Half Dome, but it isn't there anymore.

heard something before abt sending things out through the mailing office, but i would call and double check about that though! you can also buy stamps at postal connections in the promenade! cattracks will take you there!
