Having a laptop is one of the most essential things for a student to own, especially at a tech school like Stevens. It can be overwhelming to pick from hundreds of options. Thankfully, most brands have student discounts. If you’re a fan of macOS, you can buy any MacBook and get a $150 Apple gift card – perfect for investing in great notes with an Apple Pencil or getting some AirPods to listen to music around campus. Other laptop brands, including Lenovo, Dell, and HP, have their own exclusive students discounts as well. HP boasts up to 40% off their latest technology. Many brands also offer sales on necessary school software. Adobe offers 65% off their Creative Cloud subscription, and NordVPN offers 77% off their VPN subscription.
Speaking of subscriptions, many students can agree that keeping up with streaming services can be an expensive hassle. Thankfully, most offer generous discounts. One popular one is the Hulu and Spotify subscription that is free for three months, and only $5.99 afterwards. Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music also offer student deals on their products. If you choose to subscribe to the popular Amazon Prime student discount, you also have access to Prime Video, Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Photos, and more completely free for six months. Other streaming services that offer similar bargains include Apple TV and Paramount Plus.
When you start to grow tired of your meal plan, there are still plenty of options available to enjoy affordable food. Many local Hoboken restaurants offer student discounts, as well as a majority of chain restaurants such as Chick-fil-A or Dunkin’ Donuts. If you want to stay in, GrubHub and DoorDash also offer discounted services for students. Finally, if you just want to cook your own food, HelloFresh offers 15% off for a year, and Blue Apron offers half off for your first month.
One of the best parts about Stevens is the location. There are countless attractions and museums to visit, and thankfully, most offer a student discount. If you just want to catch a movie with some friends, make sure you pick AMC and take full advantage of their lowered price for students. You can also save at Broadway, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and Carnegie Hall. Most museums, including the Intrepid and the American Museum of Natural History also offer generous sales.
This all is a lot of information to take in at once, but don’t worry, there’s a discount to help with that too. Relaxation apps like Headspace and Calm also offer up to 85% off, which can be especially helpful during finals week.
As a general rule, always be sure to Google “student discount” after each purchase. You never know what offers are available for you!
