    Anyone know if I'll be eligible for student discount if I haven't started college yet? I'm going to be a grad student at UW, but it doesn't start until September 29. Prior to that, I was just working.

    Not sure what the definition is on "eligible students". Help..please :). Thanks!

    I'm sure you're eligible, as long as you got a student ID number and the university can verify that you are starting/going to classes there...

    I did my custom order over the phone and I asked for the student discount all they said was "what school do you go to?" I told them UCF and thats was it I got my 6% off so I think at least on the phone you don't need any proof.

    Oh cool thanks! Yeah, I do have a student ID.

    Anyway, it turns out, if you work for T-Mobile, you also get a discount. Duh! STupid me!

    Thanks!
