Being a college student means we are all broke, and tired. Sadly, living off or on campus, most of us are on a budget since we work part-time (bless those full-timers) or some of us don’t even have time between classes and studying to work at all. But that’s OK because I am here to give you a list of places that offer discounts to help save money!
Students can utilize Spotify Premium for only $4.99 when signing up with a student email. @Spotify
Music
I don’t know about you, but I cannot live without my music. I listen to music while I do homework, walk to class and to give me the motivation to get through a workout in the gym. Apple lets college students enjoy their music subscription for only $4.99. The best part is that all you need is your student email and you can even try it for free. If you aren’t a fan of Apple Music you can also try Spotify Premium. The same as Apple Music, just for being a college student you can enjoy unlimited music for only $4.99!
Campus Gear gives students 10 percent off their purchase with their student I.D
Apparel and Accessories
Campus Gear which is right down the road off campus sells Saint Leo merchandise for students, families, faculty and staff. We all know how the campus store can be a bit expensive, but Campus Gear is cheaper and offers almost the same merchandise. What’s better is that if you show your student I.D., you can get 10 percent off.
Stores such as J. Crew, Banana Republic and Kate Spade (located just 20 minutes from campus) all offer 15 percent discounts when shown student I.D.’s; however, these aren’t the only places that offer discounts. When students join the website for UNiDAYS, they can save even more on brands like Calvin Klein, American Apparel, H&M, Levi’s, Under Armour, Adidas and the list keeps going on; check it out at www.unidays.com
Food
As college students, we can get tired of eating at the cafeteria for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and sometimes we want to eat something different like fast food. Although not a lot of fast food locations offer discounts, it’s still worth a try.
If you show your student I.D. at Subway, Burger King, Firehouse Subs or Waffle House, you might get 10 percent off your meal. If you go to Chipotle or Chick fil la it’s possible that you could get a free drink to wash down your meal. Many of these food chains also have apps, and when you sign up through your email, you can sometimes get free menu items. One app, in particular, is the Chick fil La One app; they will randomly send free item offers, gift a free mystery item for your birthday and you scan your phone’s app to collect points with purchases, at the end of the day you will get have enough for a free sandwich or fries. McDonald’s, Moe’s, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts and Sonic are all some examples that offer similar rewards apps.
Now the next time you go to Chick fil La or purchase a new shirt, you can walk into the store with your student I.D. knowing that you will be saving some money. It is our time for us college students to take advantage of all of this before we graduate and can no longer utilize the benefits of a student I.D.
