With hundreds of streaming options at their disposal, students will never run out of new shows and movies to watch. And with the help of dependable internet providers, they can stream seamlessly and enjoy an uninterrupted viewing experience. However, there’s a way to make the streaming experience even better, with many of these services providing discounts to students with a “.edu” email address. This article will explore the various student discounts available on popular streaming services and help students make the most out of their entertainment budget.
Hulu
The Hulu student discount allows college students to stream unlimited shows and movies on the ad-supported plan for just $1.99/month (regularly $6.99/month). This 65% discount is valid as long as you are enrolled at a Title IV accredited U.S. college or university and your enrollment is verified by Hulu’s partner, SheerID. If you already subscribe to Hulu, log into your account and navigate to the student discount page to apply the discount to your current ad-supported plan.

Streaming your favorite shows, gaming with roommates, and attending hybrid classes is going to require a certain amount of internet speed for the best performance. While college students living in dorms probably don’t get to choose their internet providers, students living off-campus can use our Complete Guide to Internet Speed to help find the best option for their digital lifestyles.
