20 Websites College Students Need to Know

Every day, during the school year, I find myself on the edge of a panic attack when I think about all of the things I need to get done. This moment usually hits after I’ve finished scrolling Tumblr or watching Netflix—time spent watching Parks and Rec is not time wasted. As a college student, it’s easy to spend hours scrolling the depths of the Internet while avoiding homework and studying. Here are a few websites specifically for college students and tools to make managing your workload easier.

Grubhub

Let’s face it – when you are a busy college student with only a dorm mini fridge and microwave at your disposal, cooking balanced meals is not a priority. It’s easy to keep skipping meals and snack on junk food all the time. Ordering food and getting it delivered to your dorm is often the best option, especially if you don’t have a car on campus! Sign up for Grubhub and explore all the takeout options in your area! You can even save all your favorite places and your preferred orders, so it’s super quick and convenient to re-order what you like best. Sign up for Grubhub today and save $10 on your first order with the promo code GHSC19.

Stubhub

Stubhub is the number one website to buy and sell tickets to events around campus.

Whether you’re looking for a music festival or a sports event, it’s the best place to grab tickets.
