Easter is just around the corner which means term-time holidays for everyone in education, including those at college or university. Students are often first to sport and take advantage of a bargain, especially as the academic year goes on and spending gets a bit tighter, in particular during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Whether it’s a money-off code or a free delivery voucher, being a student opens up a world of discounts, but not everyone has the time - or energy - to trawl the web and social media platforms to find the best deals. Fortunately, Yugo, the global student housing brand and operator, has done all the hard work and tracked down deals galore on everything from food to footwear and tech to travel.

How to find student discounts
To find the latest discounts, create an account with UniDays, StudentBeans, and TOTUM - these three powerhouses are the top ways to identify yourself as a student and release those codes.
