College students are known for living on shoe-string budgets, struggling to stretch financial aid disbursements through the semester. That means traveling opportunities are usually slim to none.
But it doesn't have to be that way! Thanks to these student-focused discount travel websites, traveling as a college student has just gotten easier (and cheaper)!
