If you like food and eating out but think now as a student you can\u2019t afford it, you\u2019re wrong! Various\u00a0restaurants give discount of about 20% with\u00a0others giving you a free food. To find out which brands offer discount, check out the website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nus.org.uk\/en\/nus-extra\/discounts\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The best discount for me is discount on rail travel. You can apply for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.16-25railcard.co.uk\/\">16-25 rail card<\/a> which will give you discount on train travel, which as a student is a real bonus if you are going to be travelling back and forth by train. You can even get discounted tickets at the cinema or in all kinds of entertainment venues.<\/p>\n<p>So remember:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Always carry your student card; you never know when you\u2019ll need it.<\/li>\n<li>If you aren\u2019t sure a place doesn\u2019t give student discount then ask if they do. You could be surprised.<\/li>\n<li>Discount really makes a difference so take full advantage of the discounts available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Natalie Smith 2nd year BU Student, LLB (Hons) Law You can get student discount in so many places it would take a whole blog to list them all!
