10 great tips for students: tricks to save money, get organized, and succeed in your studies

Introduction

Student life is a mix of independence, discoveries… and challenges. Between the tight student budget, the courses to review, outings with friends, and the stress of exams, you can quickly feel overwhelmed. But good news: there are plenty of great student deals to save money, better organize yourself, and succeed in your studies without sacrificing your social life.

Here are 10 essential student deals for 2025.

1. Take advantage of student discounts everywhere

Your student card is a real passport to savings. Cinema, museums, concerts, public transport… most places offer student discounts. Even some commercial brands offer discounts. Also, consider software subscriptions or streaming platforms that offer special deals for students.

2. Eat well without breaking the bank

Eating cheaply as a student is possible. University restaurants remain unbeatable in terms of price. You can also use apps like Too Good To Go or Phenix to collect meals at low prices. And if you’re sharing accommodation, try batch cooking : prepare meals in advance, it costs less and avoids pasta every night.

3. Housing: find smart and affordable options

Housing is often the heaviest expense. Consider CROUS residences, shared accommodations or even intergenerational housing. Also, check if you are eligible for APL (student housing assistance). To furnish your apartment, think of good deals such as Leboncoin, Emmaüs, or Facebook groups for students.

4. Essential apps for students

Some apps have become must-haves in student life :

• Notion to organize your courses

• Tricount to manage shared expenses

• Lydia to easily reimburse your friends

• Google Drive or equivalent to share your documents
  In short, free tools that save you time in your daily life.

5. Reduced transport costs

Getting around without blowing your student budget is possible. Between the youth pass from SNCF, the TCL or RATP subscriptions, and student carpooling, you have plenty of cheap options. Biking is also a great economical and eco-friendly alternative.

6. Working alongside your studies

A student job is often essential to supplement your budget. Opt for flexible part-time jobs: babysitting, tutoring, restaurant work, or even temporary missions through apps. You can also try student freelancing (writing, graphic design, translation) to earn money online.

7. Manage your budget without stress

Are you still struggling with your expenses? Download a student budget management app like Bankin’ or Linxo. Set a weekly limit and track your expenses. It may seem tedious, but you will find that it helps avoid running out of money at the end of the month.

8. More effective revisions with Koro AI

A real great student deal is also to study smart. And here, Koro AI can help you save a lot of time. It is a fun and very intuitive application that transforms your courses (PDF, photos, Word…) into:

Being a student is not just about studying: it’s also about going out, meeting people, and enjoying life. But there’s no need to spend a fortune. Join association parties, attend free events in your city, or student festivals. You can also organize house parties, always more economical than bars.

10. Take advantage of digital deals

Spotify, Deezer, Netflix, Adobe, Microsoft Office… most major platforms offer student subscriptions at reduced prices. And on the material side, you can find discounts on computers, tablets, or software thanks to your student status.
