With tuition, books, food and monthly rent and utilities, students have a lot of expenses. And a full course load — or even just one or two classes — means there’s little time to spend working at a job. To make things easier, furniture rental company CORT just announced that they’ll be offering a student discount. For students moving into their first apartment, renting furniture can be a smart choice.

Buying used furniture is time-consuming and requires a lot of heavy moving and searching, and buying new furniture is a huge expense that many students just can’t afford. With rental furniture, the moving is done for you. Payments are made monthly, and the furniture is in showroom condition. For just a few dollars a day, your student apartment will be comfortable and beautifully furnished.
