College life can be expensive. Why not take advantage of your student status and check out some of the best discounts offered by popular stores?
From retail to tech to restaurants, businesses recognize that students make up a large percentage of the consumer market. We have the power to spread word about a favorite purchase, designate a new off-campus hangout spot, or simply garner the large customer numbers that businesses rely on. Especially with the holiday season upon us, these discounts can be a major draw for college students looking to purchase gifts for friends, family, or themselves!
Remember that many stores will require proof of student status, so make sure to have your student ID available.
