Let’s face it: college is an incredibly expensive life stage. Luckily, there are plenty of awesome deals for students for everything from music to back-to-school essentials. Here’s a list of five student discounts that will keep you from breaking the bank.
1. Get Adobe Creative Cloud for free through UAB
It’s a great time to be a Blazer! Usually priced at around $400/year, Adobe Creative Cloud is FREE for all students at UAB. Creative Cloud includes apps like Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and more.
Creative Cloud isn’t just for art majors. You can use Photoshop to create club flyers, InDesign to level up your resume, and other Adobe CC programs to help you and your ideas stand out. Download it here straight from UAB. We recommend getting it now so you have some time to check out their online tutorials.
2. Get Spotify, Hulu, and SHOWTIME for $4.99 a month
Spotify’s student discount gives you access to Spotify Premium (regularly $10.99/month), Hulu (regularly $5.99/month), and SHOWTIME (regularly $10.99/month) for just $4.99 a month. That means unlimited music streaming and endless shows to watch for less than the cost of a box of pizza!
3. Get 6 months of Amazon Prime for free with Amazon Student.
With Amazon Prime’s free two-day shipping and streaming services, the benefits of a subscription are clear. The catch? The $119.00 a year price tag. On a college student’s budget, that can be a little steep.
Enter Prime Student: a 50% off version of Amazon Prime available exclusively to college students. Bonus? Prime Student will be FREE for the first six months of your subscription.
4. Get 12 weeks of The Washington Post for free
If you sign up with Prime Student, you’ll also be able to get four months of The Washington Post for free!
Just log in with your Amazon account to start your free trial.
5. Get Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for free from Microsoft.
A tried-and-true scholastic staple, Microsoft Office and college students go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, its hefty price point of $69.99 a year can deal a sizable hit to the average student budget.
Luckily, Microsoft offers Office 365 for FREE to college students. All you need is a valid school email address. As part of this deal, you’ll also receive 1 TB of free online storage.
