Class is back in session! Being in school can be pretty expensive, but there are some cool perks you get from being a student or even a staff member. So let’s make the most of it.
Back-to-School Shopping
Need new clothes? Head over to the Outlets at Traverse Mountain or City Creek Mall and get a 15% to 20% discount in-store or online when you show your student ID or teacher’s badge at Adidas, J.Crew, or Madewell.
Moving Around the City
Several colleges in Utah offer free access to public transit through the Utah Transit Authority, so if you’re a student or a staff member you can live your best transit life. Not in college? Students and their guardians in the Salt Lake City School District ride for free, too!
