SAN ANTONIO—Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) students have ways to save money while attending school.
Students are eligible for various discounts in San Antonio for being a current OLLU student.
“I think students should take advantage because they’re paying tuition to be able to access these services and more that [OLLU] is able to provide,” said Sacnite Blanco, a psychology major student.
OLLU recently made a partnership with the McNay Museum in offering student free general admission at the museum by presenting their OLLU ID. This will be available to the OLLU community through May 2022.
Another partnership the school has done is with VIA buses offering undergraduate students with a free VIA U-Pass through the Via goMobile App. Once you have downloaded the app, create a user account using your OLLU email.
“I used the VIA bus pass my first semester because I did not bring my vehicle,” said Brianna Contreras-Rodriguez, business administration major student. “It has a lot of frequent stops and instead of wasting money on gas, you could just use the bus because its already in your tuition.”
Other places around San Antonio that offer discounts by showing a school ID is the San Antonio Aquarium, the San Antonio Museum of Art, Regal Cinema and Alamo Drafthouse to name a few participants.
- Alamo Drafthouse offers a $3 off the price of admission.
- Regal Cinema offers their own student discounts so call before you go.
