It\u2019s always hard to manage a student budget, but there are lots of ways to get out and explore without breaking the bank. Here are five amazing student deals to take advantage of with your Terrier card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Student 9s<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fenway Park offers $9 tickets to select Red Sox home games to students! You can enroll in their text program, and they\u2019ll release tickets the morning before the game. Grab your seats for just $9 and you\u2019re good to go!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Free museum admission\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The BU Office for the Arts gives students free access to the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), and the Harvard Art Museum (which is free for all visitors). All of these have amazing selections and exhibits \u2014 a great way to spend a weekend afternoon or a rainy day in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Zipcar &amp; Bluebikes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you find yourself wanting to get out of the city or having a project that requires you to get somewhere by car, Zipcar offers discounted memberships to students. Bluebikes also offer discounted memberships to BU students! If you\u2019re looking to get around by something besides T or the BU BUS, these are great options to keep in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Free fry deal\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saloniki Greek runs a promotion (at least at their Newbury Street location) where you can get a free order of fries by presenting your student ID if you order at the counter. I take advantage of this deal myself at least every few weeks; they\u2019re delicious!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Theatre and arts\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students are eligible for free concert tickets at the Boston Symphony Orchestra by purchasing a one-time $30 College Card. The Boston Ballet also offers $20 rush tickets for students, or $30 tickets if you sign up for a student subscription. Students can also get $25 tickets at The Huntington Theatre at most performances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Emily Wyrwa Boston is the college town to end all college towns \u2014 and local businesses know that!
