A Hood College student may ask: Where can I find student discounts?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the answer is simple. There are many student discount apps online and some downtown Frederick businesses that offer student discounts at their stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some student discount apps online include: Chegg, Amazon, Groupon, Honey, AroundCampus, Student Beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students have to visit their websites or download these apps and use their codes for a discount at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some downtown Frederick businesses, who are involved in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/downtownfrederick.org\/live\/student-life\/\">Downtown Frederick Partnership<\/a>&nbsp;Hood College Student Discount Program, also offer student discounts and those are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>North Market Pop Shop<\/li><li>Curious Iguana<\/li><li>Retro-Metro<\/li><li>South Market Sandwich Co<\/li><li>Surelocked In Escape Games<\/li><li>JewelZ Hair RootZ and Follicles<\/li><li>Hopewell Hair Design<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All students have to do is show their Hood ID card at checkout to receive a 10% discount on their purchase.

Michelle Schaffer, manager at North Market Pop Shop,&nbsp;&nbsp;says \u201cI think it\u2019s a really good idea to get people off campus and seeing all that Downtown Frederick has to offer as part of the college experience, a special part of being at Hood College.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>By: Jessie Ramcharran October 2, 2020 Let\u2019s face it.
