With so many streaming platforms, it’s hard to subscribe to everything on a student budget. Between buying books and paying rent, you don’t want to have to break the bank for a little weeknight entertainment. Luckily, tons of services offer student streaming deals so you can enjoy all the best series for less.
Most of the platforms also offer students free trials, even when signing up for a student subscription. This makes it easy to binge a few shows before ultimately cancelling a subscription to avoid paying altogether, or gives you the opportunity to see what’s available on each platform before fully committing to various student streaming deals.
If you’re on a budget, you can extend your entertainment content even further if you sign up for a VPN (virtual private network) to watch international shows such as Love Island UK, Married at First Sight Australia and Naked Attraction, which would normally be restricted based on location. Our favorite is ExpressVPN. While ExpressVPN doesn’t offer student discounts specifically, they often have general sales and discounts that would be perfect to capitalize on as a student looking to get the most out of your hard-earned dollars.
