Student Discounts on Educational services

Not that this in any way comes close to weighing off the ridiculously high college tuition but here are a few subscriptions you could find, with student discounts, that could be useful in enhancing your college journey.

Microsoft Education Store: Microsoft offers special discounts on its software (Office 365, Surface devices, Windows operating systems) for eligible students. Adobe Creative Cloud: Adobe provides significant discounts on its Creative Cloud subscription (Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro) for students. ​

Subscriptions to Digital news: Instead of taking your old subscriptions to college, by using your .edu ID, you can find free / reduced rates to in-depth journalism, articles, and digital content. For example: ​ The New York Times Student Discount: journalism and articles on daily news. Wall Street Journal Student Membership: access to business news, insights, and analysis. LinkedIn Learning: thousands of online courses on various topics. The Economist Student Discount: access a global perspective on politics, business, science, and technology. Financial Times Student Discount: comprehensive financial news and analysis. Chegg: Chegg is an online platform that offers textbook rentals, homework help, study resources etc. As a student, you can get discounts on Chegg Study materials. Barnes & Noble College: Many college bookstores affiliated with Barnes & Noble offer discounts on textbooks, school supplies, and other educational materials for students. Be sure to check it out when you need to purchase textbooks. Grammarly: Grammarly, a popular writing and grammar tool, and offers a student discount for its premium subscription. GitHub Student Developer Pack: GitHub offers a collection of free and discounted developer tools and resources for students, including coding and programming platforms. Scribd: Scribd provides a vast collection of eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, and documents, which is really helpful for students. Their student discount gives you cheaper for access to their library of educational materials. ​

If you want to take extra coursework, either as something meaningful to add to your resume or to support the classes you take, you should definitely take advantage of these opportunities:

Coursera: Coursera offers a range of courses from top universities and institutions. Many of these courses have discounted pricing for students.

edX: Similar to Coursera, edX offers online courses from universities worldwide, with some courses available at a reduced cost for students.

LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com): LinkedIn Learning provides online courses on various subjects, and some institutions offer discounted or free access to students.

I hope this serves as a reminder that as you get back to college, you should re-evaluate not only your goals but also your subscriptions. It's beneficial to get access to these resources that support your education, now at a better price, or to update your membership in them so you can save some money every month :)
