Though Springfield is not your average college town, it does give you the feeling of being in one. Like many college towns the businesses and restaurants tend to rely heavily on college students. This means these businesses must do something to get the students to come in. One of the easiest ways to do that is to save students money. Whether it’s a coupon on a discount, students will jump at the opportunity to save money.
There are many businesses and restaurants that will give student discounts. The important thing to remember is that they don’t always advertise these discounts so you must ask. One tip I have learned is that the closer to campus the more likely they offer a student discount, but that doesn’t mean places future away from campus don’t offer them. You just have to ask. I would encourage students to always have their IDs on them. You never know when it can save you some money.
