Get More as a Titan: Explore Student Discounts!
Being a student has its pros and cons, but saving money on products and services — just because you’re getting an education — is one of the best parts. Saving money is never a bad thing, and luckily, there are many businesses willing to help. In my time at Eastern Florida State College, I’ve found that student discounts and deals exist almost everywhere. Even if they’re a small help (like 10% off), every little bit counts. Check out the list below, which contains discounts on technology and education resources, deals on food (every college student’s dream), subscriptions for the soul and even a couple of apps!
The Fine Print: This list is current as of the time of publication, but it’s not fully comprehensive, so be sure to ask about student discounts everywhere you go. The recommendations expressed in this blog post are mine and mine alone; Eastern Florida State College does not endorse or receive compensation from any of the companies named below.
