Let's be honest ' the struggle of being a college student is real. The American dream is to graduate high school, head off to college, and get a big paying job. But they don't tell you about the struggle in between. As a college student myself, I know what it's like to have 20 dollars to your name, feeling like Daddy Warbucks because you think about how many coffees you can buy, how much food you can purchase, and how many shirts you can buy at Goodwill.

Luckily, there are several places in the area that feature special deals for college students. From free drinks to oil changes, don't miss out on these discounts.
