As a student, I’m always looking for ways to save money, especially on everyday things like food, transportation, and self-care. Over time, I’ve found that getting student discounts by showing my Brown ID at certain spots around Providence can actually make a difference. Whether it’s a small percentage off or a free drink, these student discounts add up and make sticking to a budget a little easier. Here are some of the ones I’ve used or plan to use soon.
1. Providence Place Cinemas 16 and IMAX
For any ticket purchase, Showcase offers a student discount when shown a student ID. This is the discount I use most often and always appreciate the few dollars taken off my ticket.
2. Metro Nails
Metro Nails offers a 2% discount on any service. Although it’s a small discount, it’s one I’ve used often. Keep in mind, a little can go a long way over time if you are a regular client.
3. Chipotle
Students can get a free drink with any entree if they show a valid Student ID at purchase. It’s a simple perk, but it’s nice to have something extra with your burrito bowl.
4. ZipCar
Whether you need a car for a few hours to run errands or the whole day, you can use Zipcars. Join Zipcar through Brown and save up to $55 on an annual membership.

Honorable Mention
J and J Nails and Spa
Although details are hard to confirm, J and J Nails and Spa in Warwick, RI reportedly offers a student discount ranging from 10–20%, according to a Facebook post. Since the offer may be limited-time, it’s best to call ahead or ask in person.
