College life costs money, thankfully these awesome retailers are willing to lighten your load, providing discounts made especially for students.
There are two must haves for redeeming some of these offers are:
1. A student ID
Most of these offers require you show your student ID when redeeming, so don't forget to bring it along.
2. Your University email address
You know the one your school gave you on the first day. Hint** It ends in .edu.
Not all offers require this, mostly just the offers redeemed online, so have it handy.
It would be smart to get this email address memorized, especially since you can continue to use this address after college, and this email can be the key to redeeming some of these offers even after you graduate.

*not all these offers are valid in every state, so make sure you check with your local location.This list is not at all the start or end of discounts available so be sure to check locally, as many businesses are more than willing to provide college students discounts.
