Your KU ID can get you more than just a free bus ride or a book from Anschutz.
Many students don't realize they can receive discounts at retail stores, restaurants and recreational activities.
"I only know of the SUA student discounts, not much else," Tori Schmuz, a sophomore from Milwaukee said.
Ammara Siddiqi, a junior from Wichita, said she dines out three to five times a week, but didn't know about any student discounts. Saving a few extra dollars at restaurants might influence her dining habits.
"I'd probably frequent them more often," Siddiqi said.
Domino's, 832 Iowa St., offers a variety of deals and is a part of CampusSpecials.com.
Manager Andrew Bartlow said Domino's offers a special during the first two weeks of schools where students can get a medium pizza for $2.99.
Sam Thoenen, a junior from Jefferson City, Mo., enjoys eating at Dempsey's but didn't know they had specials.
"I have eaten there a decent
amount of times but wasn't aware they had half price burgers on Tuesday's." Theoenen said.
Theoen said he was more inclined to go now that he knows about the deal.
Charlotte Russe, a clothing store, gives 10 percent off all regular priced items if you have a student ID.
Other retail stores that offer discounts with a student ID include J. Crew, Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic.
There are also student discounts for recreational activities.
Alvamar Golf Course, 1800 Crossgate Drive, offers a student discount during the week on their 18-hole course.
With a valid student ID, students can play for $35, a discount of $10.
The website features coupons and a listing of local student discounts.
Robert Maupin, a junior from Lawrence, started FlavorsofLawrence.com with his wife, Heidi.
Maupin encourages fellow students to follow Flavors of Lawrence on Twitter (@flavolawrence), where specials are posted hourly.
