Students of Kennesaw State and other colleges pay a high price to go to college, and many brands and corporations know this. There is an abundance of discounts up for grabs, but many students simply do not know about them.
Many companies do little to advertise their student discounts and therefore, students have no idea how many dollars there are to save. However, with a little research, students can find that their wallets are capable of more than they thought.
The best way to find discounts for students is to search the internet with a fine-tooth comb. Simply googling “student discounts” will provide many websites that advertise extensive lists of available discounts.
The majority of retailers offering student discounts are clothing and restaurant-related, however, a college ID will get students so much more. Stores such as BestBuy offer many discounts for computers and electronics. Local gyms such as Orange Theory and Anytime Fitness offer cheaper subscriptions for students. College enrollment will even get students discounts on many flights, according to Skyscanner.
Local museums near KSU also offer student discounts, including the High Museum of Art and the Booth Museum of Western Art.
Resources such as Bradsdeals host some of the most extensive and up-to-date lists of discounts available to students on the internet. Many of these websites and stores are not well-known for their discounts, yet they have some of the best discounts out there.
One of the best discounts available to students are usually subscription-based services. Spotify offers students a monthly rate of $4.99 which includes a subscription to Spotify Premium, Hulu and Showtime. This is one of the best deals out there for college students and is highly recommended for students who love music and television.
There are also discounts available for students when looking for health and wellness products. These discounts are not used as often as other discounts, because students do not always know that they are available to them. In fact, many over-the-counter prescriptions such as Airborne offer lower prices for students.
“I was unaware of these discounts,” junior communications major Ella League said. “It’s a shame that companies don’t advertise student discounts more because it could help so many people, especially those who stretch every single dollar they have.”
Many websites offer discounts through third party websites, such as Unidays. Creating an account in Unidays gives students discounts only available to those with a valid university email. It is important to remember this when creating an account, and only use an official KSU email.
College towns are well-known for offering discounts and deals for students. While Kennesaw is not as famous of a college town as Athens or Knoxville, there are still discounts available for students who look very closely.
College students always need more money between college, rent and bills. It is always nice to have a little more cash on hand and these discounts may just be the best way to do it. Students should thoroughly research the discounts available to them because there are so many more ways to stretch your dollars than one realizes.
