As college students we are often faced with a lot of financial obligations that can be a little too far out of our reach. However there are some upsides to being a struggling broke college student. With just showing your college ID or putting your email you will never have to pay full price again.
There are many discounts and loopholes that can be used to our benefit. Here is a list of places by category that can make your college years a little easier.
