Student life is amazing but it may also be hard sometimes. We all crave independence from our parents, we look forward to moving out from our home town, maybe even moving to another country. All of it is insanely exciting but are we all ready for it? We have to face the new life, unexpected expenses, we have to be organised, it all may cause a little stress, but if you are prepared for it, it will be a piece of cake. Today I’d love to help you make your university life easier by sharing my top student discount tips in London.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Student Discount Apps<\/h1>\n

Student Discount apps UNiDAYS and StudentBeans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We all use our phones, our generation can\u2019t really live without them. Social media is like a trap for us, but at the same time our phones may help us. As a student I recommend downloading the app called UNiDAYS<\/a>. To sum up, this app gives you a student discount on LOADS of shopping items (mainly online). In brief, UNiDAYS makes shopping even more pleasurable! It is easy to use, has many categories and is probably one of my favourite things ever. One great example of this is that it allows you to get Amazon Prime for 6 months for free (trial) + 50% discount after the trial. Some of the categories are full of vouchers or discount codes to use in restaurants or popular fast food chains which we all love. Apart from that if you like buying your clothes online it gives you an advantage to spend less money with discounts varying from 10% – 70% off. Furthermore, additional discounts help you with traveling, getting new computer, phone, cosmetics, gym membership discounts and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, UNiDAYS is not the only student app which will make your life better! StudentBeans<\/a> is another app which helps you shop both online and in store. Again you can choose from many categories to use the discounts online. Helpfully, it gives you an option to find the nearest places where you can get discounts with StudentBeans (remember to turn your location preferences on).<\/p>\n

For access to these free apps, all you have to do is to sign up and prove that you are a UK student. In short, it\u2019s simple and it will massively help you with saving your money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
