All these things for free for a university student?

Today, we are talking about a lottery that university students receive. That is the Student email. Many people who get it don’t use it to their advantage. Some don’t even know how to use it properly. So, I thought of talking about this for those who don’t know, to learn, and for those who know, to confirm what they can get.

First, let me tell you what you can get completely free.

1. Microsoft Office 365 Education – You get 1 TB of cloud storage with OneDrive.
2. GitHub Student Developer Pack – You can get the Pro version of GitHub for free until you graduate. Along with that, you get many other services for free.
3. Figma for Students – This software is used for designing (including UI).
4. JetBrains Software Collection – Softwares like PyCharm, PhpStorm, CLion, IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, GoLand, and DataSpell are very useful for coding. You can get all these for free for a year. However, you need to renew them every year through the email they send.
5. Autodesk for Educators – This is an important piece of software for architecture and engineering students. You can use it for free for a year and then need to renew it. It includes applications like 3D Max, Maya, and AutoCAD.
6. Microsoft Azure for Students – This is very valuable for those learning cloud computing. You get $100 credits to use for a year. This also needs to be renewed every year.
7. RoboForm, do you forget the passwords you use to log into different sites? Here’s software to save and keep your passwords. You can use it for free for a year.
8. Amazon Prime – You can get Amazon Prime service free for six months.
9. Amazon Web Services or AWS, is available for free use for those learning cloud computing.

Now, let’s see what discounts you can get.

1. Spotify Student Discount – You can get a 50% discount. You need to verify your student ID with SheerID for this.
2. Adobe Creative Cloud Discount – You can get a 60% discount, providing access to all apps in Creative Cloud.
3. Skillshare Student Discount – You can get a 50% discount for a year.
4. Student Advantage Card – You can get discounts at various online shopping sites (like Samsung, Dell, and Domino’s).
5. Razer Student Discount – You can get up to a 15% discount.
6. BestBuy Student Discount – You get discounts on various items if you buy through this.
7. HP Student Store – You can buy HP products.
8. UNiDAYS – You can buy Apple products.

In addition to these, there are many more benefits available with a Student E-Mail. Some services cannot be accessed by students from government universities (mostly under discounts). Private university students affiliated with a foreign university can access them.
