The better news is: post-secondary students can visit the ROM for free every Tuesday. Their dinosaur exhibit never gets old IMO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), 317 Dundas St W<\/strong><br>The AGO is the perfect spot to spend a rainy day and their cafe is pretty serene. Anyone under 25 can visit the AGO for free. If you're 18 to 25, you will have to show your ID and download an AGO annual pass.<br><strong><br>Ripley\u2019s Aquarium, 288 Bremner Blvd<\/strong><br>Hands down, one of the most magical and mesmerizing sites in the city. Students who buy their tickets in person and show their valid student ID can purchase discounted tickets, at around $30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spotify Premium, www.spotify.com\/ca-en\/student\/<\/strong><br>Why pay more when you can pay less? If you're a Spotify Premium user, make sure you're taking advantage of the student rate. After you validate that you're a student online, the deal is good for up to 4 years. Rock on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nMoney is tight for so many people these days, especially young students.
