25 Restaurants With Student Discounts You Didn’t Know About
Being in college is obviously expensive–even before you get to paying off your loans. Between food, books and supplies (not to mention drinks!) it can add up pretty quick. If you’re already feeling the stress of a draining bank account, you’ll be happy to hear the news: there are SO many restaurants with student discounts. If you have a college ID, you’re in luck. Here are 25 restaurants with student discounts to brighten your lunch hour.
1. Dunkin Donuts
If you’re like every college student in the Northeast, you live on Dunks. Your caffeine fix just got a little sweeter. At participating locations, you can get 10% off your order if you flash your card.
2. Buffalo Wild Wings
Famous for their wings and brews, now you can go watch the games with your buds for a little less. If you ask, you can get 10% off at most sites!

3. Denny’s
Bacon, eggs and a side of savings. Denny’s will give you 15% off if you’re military, an AARP member, or–you guessed it–a college student.
4. Taco Bell
Say what you want about the tex-mex fast food joint. I personally can’t get enough of the cheesy goodness. And now, with the 10% student discount, I can get even more.
5. Arby’s
Those curly fries will be 10% more delicious with this discount. Free food (or at least, more free) always tastes better, am I right?

6. Subway
Finally a slightly healthy choice makes an appearance! Subway has long been hailed as the healthy alternative to fast food. Now, the tradition of healthy being pricey can be contested. At participating locations, you can get 10% off with a student ID.
7. Starbucks
Not a Dunks drinker? Don’t fret. While Starbucks doesn’t have discounts specifically for students, signing up for their rewards program can save you a ton in the long run.
8. Burger King
A classic burger joint just got a little better. These already cheap sandwiches get a little cheaper with that 10% discount.
