Students as a captive audience mostly pay extra for
everything, from snacks and supplies from the stores near
campus, to apartment rental rates and high priced hair care
salons. Even the fast food outlets on some campuses charge
more for their "value meals" than the same restaurant in
another part of town. There are some companies that buck the
trend and offer student discounts. We've listed some here.

provides software to students and faculty at academic prices

The ISE Card
The
ISE Card opens the door to a world of savings. ISE
Cardholders are able to enjoy discounts in a variety of
countries throughout the world including, but not limited
to, the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, South
America, and Asia. These discounts are either negotiated
directly and exclusively between the establishments and ISE,
or they are offered to ISE cardholders automatically as a
result of the ISE Card's status as an internationally
recognized identification card. ISE discounts tend to range
from 10% to 50% off at museums, castles, hotels,
restaurants, shops, language schools, theaters, concerts,
operas, cinemas, recreational facilities, rentals (auto,
motorcycle, and bicycle), bus routes, boat routes,
railroads, and selected airlines.
