Best deals, discounts and freebies for students in 2021

There’s no shame in trying to save money where you can at any point in your life, but especially as a student these days. Fortunately, a lot of companies really want you to use their stuff, so they offer pretty good discounts on so many products and services.

For example, with a valid .edu email address or proof of enrollment (via a validation service such as SheerID or Unidays), you can score impressive deals on Microsoft Office, Spotify and Hulu subscriptions and even Amazon Prime.

We’ve rounded up all of the best opportunities in this article. Be sure to check with your school’s housing department and student bookstore as well, where you might find certain streaming services for free or cheap, and extra discounts on devices and software.
