10 local student discounts you need to take advantage of

Share

Now that the semester has started up full swing again, university and college students everywhere are back to dealing with long nights, caffeine-induced study sessions, and worst of all, tight budgets.

We feel your pain – and so do a lot of businesses in town.

So without further ado – and in no particular order – here’s a list of places in Victoria where you can get great discounts just for being a student! (You’re welcome)

1. Domino’s

Pizza is a staple for all-nighters everywhere. And the Domino’s student discount code – 53202 – makes it all the more affordable.

Also, every Monday you can get your pizza 50% off if you order online and click on their Monday discount coupon!

2.  Pepper’s Foods 

This grocery store is a convenient 10-minute walk from the UVic campus (and 2 minutes from Cadboro Bay Beach), and will give you a 10% discount if you show them your student ID card!

3. Harbour Air

Stock up on your favourite snacks! Pop by Bulk Barn on Yates St on Wednesdays and present your student ID for a 10% discount.

5. Shaw/Telus

These telecom giants know how much you value your wifi! That’s why they both offer high-speed internet at ridiculously low prices just for students – and you don’t even have to sign a contract! (Shaw/Telus)

6. ZipCar

It’s difficult to see all the beautiful features of the island unless you own your own vehicle. That’s why ZipCar gives students the option to rent a car on an hourly basis for low prices. Check out their website for more information!

A membership at the AGGV will make you look and feel more cultured than your peers – and for students with a valid ID, it’s only $25 ($12 if you’re a Fine Arts student). It’s a steal, compared to the regular $55 rate!

8. Float House

Whether you’ve got finals just around the corner, or a giant paper due in a week – stressing out about it never helps. Float House – a floatation therapy and sensory deprivation centre – knows how stressful a student’s life can be, which is why all students get $40 off their first float!

9. Original Joe’s 

Looking to eat out but don’t want to stray too far from campus? Check out Original Joe’s at Tuscany Village. It’s only a 5-minute bus ride away, and you get a 10% discount for being a student!

10. Royal B.C. Museum

Now here’s a Victorian tourist attraction that’s fun, informative, and an absolute must-see! And with a valid student ID, you can get a one-day admission pass for just $16!
