Entertainment
StudentUniverse
If you’re looking for the BIGGEST student perk on this list, here it is. StudentUniverse is a travel website that helps students all around the world find flights to whatever destination you wish! Here’s the catch – these are all flights that are specifically discounted for students.
So the next time you’re planning a getaway with your friends, remember to utilise this amazing resource to save some money (which can then be channelled towards shopping sprees and non-stop eating!)
Shaw Theatres
(Image credits: Shaw Theatres)
This student discount is a no brainer – we’re pretty sure most Singaporean students know about this by now. Nonetheless, it’s still worth mentioning as $6.50 for 2 hours of entertainment is truly worth it! Do note that it is only applicable to movies before 6pm, so post-dinner movies are sadly not an option if you still want to save a few bucks.

Party World KTV

Karaoke at $4 an hour. Need we say more? Or just pay a little bit more on the weekends to destress by belting out your favourite tunes with your friends. $14 for 3 hours of shameless and judgement-free singing to all the latest songs? We think it’s pretty worth it!
Resorts World Sentosa

Aquarium or Adventure Cove Waterpark, plus plenty of special privileges.

(Image credits: 7-11 Singapore)
Ah, the Slurpee, a.k.a every student’s must buy during a 7-11 run. Although it’s not the healthiest option out there, there’s something quite addictive about the icy texture of this well-loved concoction. Furthermore, it’s the perfect cheap thrill.

KFC
(Image credits: KFC Singapore)
Finally, the fast food student deals – what you’ve secretly been looking for in this entire list. Despite all the talk about healthy living and eating, you and I both know that a little KFC every now and then won’t kill you.
And, well, just look at that crispy, juicy and thick slab of chicken spilling out of the tender buns. Look at it.
For just $5, students can enjoy a main (with a decent variety to pick from), a regular pepsi and the oh-so-soft mashed potato. Simply swap the drink for something less sugary if it’s all too much for the health nut in you to handle!
Yellow Submarines
Tired of the conventional fast food options? The newcomer on the block, Yellow Submarines, will certainly not disappoint you. Its Philadelphia-inspired Cheesesteaks (which resemble submarines) chockful of cheesy, meaty goodness will leave you bursting at the seams but craving more. And now with this smashing student deal, perhaps you can consider a second round!
And believe us when we say: the torpedo fries are life-changing. Seriously, opt for the set meal with fries. You will never get enough of their amazing cheese. (And if we’re not wrong, the cheese itself is available for takeaway too!)
Pizza Hut
(Image credits: SingPromos)
Needless to say, Pizza Hut’s $5 student set lunch takes the cake as one of the most value-for-money food deals on this list. And possibly the best cheap thrill too! This is the perfect option for a big gathering with your classmates after class if everyone’s feeling thrifty. And if someone threatens to steal a slice of your pizza, remind them: It’s my personal pan!
The Soup Spoon
For the slightly more atas diners, The Soup Spoon outlet at White Sands Mall has got your back with this buddy combo. Jio a fellow classmate for a late lunch (unfortunately, the time period is quite narrow) and try not to slurp down that delicious bowl of soup too quickly, eh?
Manhattan Fish Market
Seeking something fishier? You can always count on Manhattan Fish Market for affordable student meals. Get your daily dose of omega-3 from the generous slice of salmon, or stock up on some much needed protein after your gym session. Good luck resisting that root beer float, though!
Fish & Co
If you’re not a fan of Manhattan Fish Market’s food or are simply seeking a bigger selection of meals, simply head over to Fish & Co (there’s bound to be an outlet somewhere near you)! Although slightly gimmicky, the country-themed names for its different types fish and chips does add a bit of fun to the dining experience. And hey, they do stay true to the respective country’s cuisine!
Eighteen Chefs
(Image credits: Eighteen Chefs)

With plenty of discounts for students and even NS men and seniors, this restaurant is not also budget-friendly but community-friendly too!
Mad Jack
(Image credits: Mad Jack)

Cocoichibanya
Alright, enough of Western food. It’s time to move on to other favourites, starting off with the oh-so-heavenly Japanese curry by Cocoichibanya. This brand new 15% discount for all students on weekdays is another reason why you should gobble down that curry-drenched katsu pork cutlet!
Pepper Lunch
(Image credits: Pepper Lunch Singapore)
Pepper Lunch’s student meal has been around for long time, and it’s very common to see the outlet jam packed with students on a weekday afternoon or evening. There’s something oddly satisfying about mixing and sizzling your ingredients your own way – you even get to determine how you want your egg to be done!
Baja Fresh
(Image credits: Baja Fresh)
Mexican food is not very common in Singapore, especially if you’re talking about affordable options. However, Baja Fresh offers exactly that, and they offer everything – from burritos that are bursting at the seams to cheesy and soft quesadillas.
