Hulu just got cheaper for college students Starting today, the streaming service is rolling out a new $199/month plan for college students This is a 67% discount from Hulu's standard tier of $599/month

The new college plan gives students access to Hulu's extensive content library, which includes award-winning originals such as The Handmaid's Tale, Palm Springs, The Normal People, PEN15, and The Rummy It also offers a catalog of popular movies and FX, as well as the latest episodes of current TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "This Is Us"

However, student subscribers must watch ads; Hulu does not offer an ad-free tier at the student rate Nor does Hulu With Live TV, which recently raised its price to $65 per month, have a student rate

The college plan comes with two simultaneous streams and includes access to the recently launched Hulu Watch Party feature, which allows groups of up to eight viewers to synchronize and watch movies and shows together

Eligible college students must be at least 18 years old and enrolled in a Title IV-accredited US college or university (as verified by their Sheer ID) and can register at hulucom/student

This new Hulu deal is less than half the price of another student bargain For a little more, $499/month, you can sign up for Spotify Premium Student, which includes Hulu and Showtime

At Disney Investor Day, the company reported that Hulu had 388 million subscribers, up 28% from the previous year
