Most (all) of you may already know about this, but I came across it just recently, find it interesting, and feel the need to share.
GitHub Student Developer pack gives students free access to premium/paid developer tools and services to help them gain real world experiences. There is a total of 16 tools and services in the pack, including free cloud hosting with Digitalocean ($50 in platform credit), free domain name registration (.me TLD) and SSL certificates with Namecheap, unlimited private repositories on GitHub, etc.
I made an interesting post with more information about it on viewslog;
With these kinds of tools and services at your disposal, for free, you can literally launch your startup and have it run for as long as you are a student without spending a dime.
Go on, check it out.
