There are so many perks to being in college — conversing with professors and classmates, learning something new every day, starting to decide on a career path and (our favorite!) getting deals and discounts all over the place!
We found 65+ restaurants and stores that will give you college student discounts. Think freebies, goodies and other deals just for being a college student.
