We all know how student life is all about partying, being with your friends and having a good time. To sustain this rhythm of life, students are always looking for the cheapest deals.
A good way to do so is to have a student card which enables you to have student discounts. How does this work? Many websites including www.studentbook.org and www.edu.com explain the concept of student discounts, student cards and many more handy things to know before you go to university.
There are different types of student cards; the most effective are the “Student Advantage Discount Card” and the “International Student Identity Card” otherwise known as the ISIC.
The Student Advantage Discount Card is the nation's most widely accepted discount program for students. The Card provides students with exclusive discounts up to 50% off at more than 20,000 locations around campus, online and at many national businesses. These locations and websites include Urban Outfitters, Footlockers, NBA stores, People Magazine, Vision Direct and many more… To get your card simply go to https://www.studentadvantage.com
The International Student Identity Cardholders gain access to special discounts with many companies, especially with travel-related services such as airplanes, buses, trains, ferries, and rental cars. You can also have discounts on various attractions, historical sites, museums, hotels, bars and restaurants…The card generally costs
$22 in the US or £9 in the UK. In the United States, cards come with international travel/medical insurance, hence the increased cost. To get your card go on www.isic.org.
We can also note that the International Student Identity Card is indispensable to the well-being and education of foreign and international students.
To sum up everything that has been said, student life can be quite hectic therefore it is very important that you have one of these cards. So, think about it when you are getting insurance or filling in your UCAS forms.
