One of the best perks of being a college student is that certain retailers and restaurants give you a percentage off your purchase by just showing your student ID card. And the discounts available to students go beyond food and school supplies.
“Student discounts have benefitted me through Spotify Premium Student,” said Jordan Gellert, a junior at St. Joseph’s University, New York’s Long Island Campus. “Using my student ID, I can get all the benefits of regular Spotify Premium, such as ad-free and offline listening, without having to pay full price. Having a student discount allows me to listen to my music on Spotify wherever and whenever I want, helping me to study more efficiently and, in turn, get better grades!”
