This is hard to believe, but let’s face the truth — summer is nearing its end. Back-to-school season is rapidly approaching, and all students are getting ready for this in their own ways.

Some people stock up on nice pens and notebooks for college not only for pleasant note-taking but also for causing envy among groupmates; others rush to take advantage of the last month by performing the funniest and craziest things from the summer bookworm bucket list or finishing their 2024 vacation books.

Being a student doesn’t come cheap, and textbook prices are so high! But being a student can actually bring some great advantages. We know how crucial it is for any college student to be able to save money. That’s why we’ve gathered the ultimate list of student discounts divided into the following categories — entertainment, education, retail, tech, travel, insurance, software, food, etc.

At BookScouter, we believe it’s possible to SAVE MONEY not only on books (see where to find cheap books for sale and where to get free college textbooks) but almost on anything you’re going to buy (including tips on finding free housing for college students and suggestions on cheap food to buy when you’re broke).

Let us help you. Grab this list and go back-to-school shopping the smart way!

If you’re a parent or a family member of a student, see this awesome collection of back-to-school gifts for students.

For all students, we also recommend checking out our back-to-school list or even printing the college packing essentials checklist from BookScouter.
