Smart Savings: Unleashing the Power of Student Discounts

As a college student, it’s no secret that expenses can add up quickly. Between tuition, books, meal plans, and housing, it’s easy to feel like your wallet is constantly being drained. However, being a college student also comes with its perks – namely, student discounts.

Shopping Smart

When it comes to buying a laptop or other devices, the costs can be overwhelming. But did you know that tech giants like Apple offer discounted products, such as MacBooks and iPads, exclusively for students? Lenovo also offers 5% off orders and free shipping for students who verify their eligibility. These savings can add up quickly, and it’s essential to take advantage of them.

Music is an integral part of daily life, especially for college students. Apple Music offers a monthly subscription at $5.99, which includes Apple TV. Spotify also offers students a discounted rate of $5.99, which includes access to Hulu. And, as an added bonus, students can get six months of Amazon Prime for free when they log in with their student account.

Entertainment on a Budget

Movie theaters like AMC and Cinemark offer student discounts when you show your student ID at the box office while buying tickets. AMC also offers discounted afternoon shows, so if you buy your tickets for an earlier showing, you’ll save even more. Local Houston locations, such as the Houston Zoo, offer free admission to all UH students when they show their student ID.

The Houston Ballet offers $15 tickets to students at select shows, 90 minutes prior to the start of the performance. Alley Theater also offers discounted tickets with a valid student ID. And, for students in the McGovern College of the Arts, you can enter the Houston Museum of Arts with a $10 fee charge with your Cougar Card.

Food for Thought

Restaurants and bakeries like Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery Shoppe, Tarka Indian Kitchen, and Firehouse Tacos provide student discounts when you show your student ID. Piada offers a student discount every day from 2 to 5 p.m. and all-day Wednesday. Dunkin’ Donuts also offers up to 10% off an entire order by showing a student ID at participating locations.

Remember, these are just a few places where students can receive benefits through their student ID. If you’re unsure whether a place offers student discounts, don’t be afraid to ask.
