I never realized how many companies that I buy from every single day had student discounts.

If I’ve learned anything throughout three years of college it’s that there are discounts everywhere. And while this seems like a complete compilation with 50+ discounts for college students, it’s not. Most nails salons I go to have had student discount that they don’t advertise. So make sure to ask about discounts when you’re checking out anywhere, the worst thing that could happen is you’ll pay the price you were already going to pay!
