As a student heading back to school this year, you’re likely on a tight budget. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the latest movies, TV shows, and original content out there. Fortunately, several streaming services offer discounted plans and sales specifically tailored for students.
These deals, spread across platforms, let you enjoy a wealth of entertainment without breaking the bank. From Prime Video to Peacock, there are several options available that cater to different preferences and budgets. You could catch up on series like The Boys on Prime Video, then switch over to Hulu to get a dose of The Kardashians each week — all without spending an arm and a leg.
With each student discount, all you have to do is prove you’re enrolled in school or college, and you’ll be golden. Many will require a student email address, while others ask for other forms of identification. But all of them can save you precious cash. Below, you can explore some of the best streaming deals for students that can help you make an informed decision on which subscription will give you the most bang for your buck. Then just sign up, kick back, relax and enjoy your favorite shows.
