Are you looking for ways to stay entertained while away at school, but don’t want to pay full price for streaming? Hulu has a special offer, fit for a college student’s budget. Don’t miss out on the Hulu + Live TV free trial before signing up. Here’s what you need to know about Hulu’s Student Discount.
1. Students get 75 percent off the regular Hulu price
With the discount, students get 75 percent off of the normal price of the Hulu (With Ads) plan. That brings the price from $7.99 per month, down to just $1.99 per month. The price stays at $1.99 per month for as long as the student enrollment status remains verified.
When signing up, keep in mind that the deal is only for the Hulu (With Ads) plan. If you want to upgrade to the No Ads plan, Hulu + Live TV, or the Disney bundle with Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, you’ll have to pay full price.
2. You’ll get access to Hulu’s massive on-demand library
Hulu has an incredible on-demand library. With the student discount, you’ll get access to full seasons of your favorite series, episodes from current seasons, cult classics, and hit movies. A highlight of the library is 40+ series from FX including The Bear, Justified, and What We Do in the Shadows. The library is broken down by category, so you can easily scroll through collections of documentaries, reality TV, true crime, classic sitcoms, and more.
Along with the library of titles you already know, Hulu has a lineup of original content that you won’t find anywhere else. Watch the series everyone is talking about, like Only Murders in the Building, Saint X, and The Kardashians. The Hulu Originals collection also includes movies like Deep Water, No Exit, and Vacation Friends.
