Student deals in Toronto are plentiful - as one might expect given the amount of university, college, trade, and vocational students who live, study, and party in the city. Savings are relatively modest, generally in the 10 to 15 per cent, range, but hey, if you take advantage of every deal possible, you may be able to pay off your OSAP a whole month earlier.

Here's a roundup of students deals you can score in Toronto.
