Amazon

Any avid shopper knows about Amazon Prime and its many money-saving benefits, but did you know there’s also a Prime Student subscription? Start your six-month trial now and then pay $7.49 a month—which is half the price of a regular Prime subscription—after the trial ends. Prime Student gives you free delivery, exclusive deals and TV shows galore. 

Regardless of your dorm aesthetic, you can never have too much storage. This three-tier rolling cart is so handy for stowing all of your school supplies, toiletries and other essentials. 

Target

Stock up on dorm essentials, toiletries and school supplies at Target. The retailer increased its Target Circle college student discount from 15 percent to 20 percent. This means you can save 20 percent on a one-time purchase from July 3 through September 3.

You might as well load up your cart with everything you need for the semester, towel set included. 

Bed Bath & Beyond

Bed Bath & Beyond is the perfect place to get those not-as-sexy dorm necessities, like hangers and shower caddies. Luckily, the College Savings Pass gives you 20 percent off of every purchase through September 30.

Add this personalized shower caddy to your cart so that you can always keep track of your toiletries in the communal bathroom.

Madewell

Besides sweatshirts and joggers, you’re going to want quality denim in your regular rotation. One of my personal favorites for jeans is Madewell. They’re made to last, have just enough stretch and won’t have you impatiently waiting to rip them off as soon as you get back to your dorm. You’re in luck because Madewell recently upped its student discount from 15 percent to 20 percent for a limited time.

We can totally see you rocking these vintage-inspired, “mom jeans.” They’re high-rise and have tapered legs that are sure to accentuate your curves. Plus, the destroyed knee adds a broken-in look that is perfect for any casual college OOTD.

Lululemon

The Lulu obsession never stops, no matter what age or stage of life. Reading textbooks and writing essays will be so much less painful when you’re lounging around in Lululemon. Thanks to UNiDAYS, you can save 15 percent on all of the brand’s athleisure offerings. 

We can’t help but drool over the bestselling Align leggings. Another pair can’t hurt!

Pick up a fresh, pearly white pair of Air Force 1s. They’re so versatile you could wear them to class, club events, tailgates, you name it.

Society6

All dorms come with white walls that are dying to be decorated. That’s why Society6 is a must for students. Not only are you adding character to your space, but you’re also supporting independent artists. Get decorating with a 25 percent student discount through Student Beans.

Put up a few prints around your room or spice things up with a gallery wall. If you’re not sure where to start, take a look at this stunning flower print.

Have you been paying $9.99 for Spotify Premium this whole time? Make the switch over to Spotify Premium Student since the package includes Spotify Premium, Hulu and SHOWTIME for only $4.99 a month. Get a taste of all these benefits with a free one-month trial.

Spotify has tons of curated playlists that are great for school, whether you’re typing up an essay in the library, chilling with friends in your dorm or pre-gaming for the party you’ve been looking forward to all week. On top of that, Hulu and SHOWTIME feature amazing movies and series like Love Island and Yellowjackets.

Disney+

If Disney+ is more your vibe, head on over to UNiDAYS to secure a monthly membership ($7.99 a month) or save 15 percent on 12 months.

Whether you’re going to school in the Bay Area or New England, you’re no doubt going to need a pair of sturdy rain boots. Hunter is the cream of the crop when it comes to weather-proof shoes, and the brand offers a 20 percent student discount with Student Beans.

Scoop up the Play Short Speckle Rain Boots that are already on sale for 35 percent off. The speckled sole and contrasting lines and colors are unlike anything you already own. 

J.Crew

If you’re on the debate team, in business school or doing an internship, you’re bound to wear more formal attire. Go business casual with all of the sophisticated offerings at J.Crew. Better yet, check out with a 15 percent student discount. Just know that you can use this discount up to four times a month.

You can’t go wrong with a crisp, white button-down shirt. Some of them can feel too stiff and restricting, but this one is made from an organic cotton poplin that has a bit of stretch.

Foot Locker

Always rock the coolest kicks with Foot Locker’s 20 percent student discount through Student Beans. Your purchase has to be over $99, but that won’t be hard at all considering you can find just about every style of shoe at Foot Locker.

Dorm rooms are not known to be the most spacious, so convenient storage solutions are key. Go for this hanging shoe organizer if you have absolutely no clue where you’re going to fit all your shoes. It will save you so much floor space and keep things clutter-free.

ASOS

Looking to refresh your wardrobe this semester? Run, don’t walk straight to ASOS where you can access a 10 percent student discount.

Outdoor Voices

Let’s be honest, when you’re in college you’re mostly sporting comfy clothes, such as leggings and sweats. Build your cozy closet with picks from Outdoor Voices. The brand has teamed up with Student Beans to give you 20 percent off your order.

Though Outdoor Voices is known for its iconic Exercise Dress, we’re thinking the Thrive 7/8 Legging is more realistic for everyday wear.

Samsung

Samsung has all of your college tech needs, so why not sign up to become a Galaxy Campus member to take advantage of extra savings? Shop the Galaxy Campus Store to save up to 30 percent off and find other exclusive offers.
