*Pro Tip
Your student email is a super magical tool that grants you access to a plethora of online discounts, so make sure to use it whenever you can!
Amazon Prime
If you sign up through your student email you can get access to Amazon Prime for 6 months. For those who live under a rock (how is that even possible?) Amazon Prime gives you benefits like free two-day shipping, and early access to daily deals.
Lenovo
If you’re looking to buy a powerful laptop for university, a Lenovo is always a solid option. All you have to do is select your university and sign in with your student email.
Autodesk Software
For those in programs that require Autodesk software or for those who just want to dip and dabble (yes that’s a thing) you can get access to an entire selection of programs for free (such as AutoCAD, Maya, and Inventor).
Grammarly
Grammarly is an editing tool that helps you edit any form of writing. It is especially helpful when writing an essay or paper for class! Grammarly is an extremely accurate grammar checker – It instantly fixes over 250 types of errors, most of which you can’t find with Microsoft Word. You can also check your writing for plagiarism to make sure you didn’t forget to rephrase some of your thoughts! It helps make your writing clear, concise, and mistake free. Plus, you can get 30% off with your student email!
LastPass Premium
If you have trouble managing your passwords especially when your bombarded with countless accounts you can use LastPass to save, and manage all of them. Also there’s no need to worry about security since all your passwords are encrypted even to the people at LastPass. With your email you can get 6 months of LastPass Premium for free.
Adidas
For those who exercise, and for those who just generally wear the Adidas brand, you can get a 30% discount off of full prices, and 15% off on products that are already on sale. This is a pretty ridiculous deal.
Adobe Suite
Adobe’s programs are notorious for being expensive, but they’re too effective to deal without. Luckily Adobe’s offered a 60% discount for students on their monthly suite plan which offers programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premier Pro.
Apple
This one’s for the Apple fanboys. Since the products you’re purchasing can be extremely expensive it’s nice to take advantage of your 10% student discount.
Microsoft
If you plan on buying Microsoft products now or in the near future you can get 10% off of PCs and Surface Pros. There are also deals for certain software like Visual Studio.
Cannon
Using your student info you can get access to multiple discounts on cameras, lenses, flashes, and printers. However, make sure you check out whether or not they have the discounted product you’re looking for here.
Squarespace
If you’re interested in creating your own website, and legitimately hosting it, Squarespace is a great option. (Good thing students get 50% off for the first year.)
Parallels
If you’re a Mac user, and need to run a program that’s only on Windows then you can download a parallel, which allows you to run any Windows program on a Mac. Using your student info, you can get 50% off.
Windows 10
If you lost your opportunity to download Windows 10 or if it wasn’t offered to you, don’t fret, you can get it for free above.
GitHub
If you’re a student developer, and you’re looking for a free way to manage and update your code, GitHub is a great option. As a student you can get access to a free student developer pack.
BitBucket
Also if you’re a student developer, and are working on a large scale project with many people, Bit Bucket is a go-to. You can get it for free above.
JetBrains
If you want to have free access to multiple IDEs, JetBrains is the go-to. Just sign up with your student email, and you’ll be given access to all of their product packs, which include intelliJ IDEA Ultimate, and ReSharper Ultimate.
Dropbox
For those interested in more Dropbox space, you can create an additional account with your student info which starts with 2GB.
Namecheap.me
No, not me, and yes, not you. If you’re in dire need of a free domain name you can go to .me (Namecheap) and pick one up.
Solid Edge
If you’re looking to do some causal mechanical modelling, or want an alternative to AutoCAD, you can get a free student version here.
Student Price Card
The SPC is a student discount card that allows you to get 10-15% off a selection of 120 plus stores. Such as McDonald’s, Old Navy, Burger King, Pizza Hut, American Apparel, and Bath and Body Works. The sweet thing is the card only costs a one-time payment of ten dollars and fifty cents. You can also buy it from your University’s store.
