Access to information, when you are a student, is essential. Electronic devices like Apple can give a student instant access to vast amounts of information and resources quickly and easily. This includes online textbooks, articles, journals, and multimedia content. This makes being a student a little easier and more efficient. In addition, students can also use electronic devices to conduct research and collaborate with classmates.
Here at Your College Sensei, I am all about saving money, and one great way to do that is to take advantage of the discounts that Apple offers to students. The Apple student discount is available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.

Work At Apple While You’re in College
One of the hardest aspects of going to college is figuring out how you are going to pay for it. It’s a scary thought, especially when the average cost for a 4-year degree from an in-state college is $110,000 (Collegedata.com). That’s a lot of money!
Be part of Apple while you’re still getting your degree — become an AppleCare Advisor, work at the Apple Store, join as an intern, or apply for a scholarship.
When I was in graduate school a fellow student worked for Apple. She was able to work from home and she liked how they work around her class schedule. Working at Apple might be a great job for you too!
