What is Hulu for Students?
If you’re a student who wants to stream your favourite shows and movies during your study breaks, you need Hulu in your life. Hulu is a streaming service where you can watch the latest blockbusters as well as some of the best TV shows EVER.
Why not just sign up for cable? Good question. Here’s why.
Hulu gives you a huge amount of freedom and choice about what you watch and when. With a Hulu subscription you can expect:
The latest ‘just aired’ episodes of your favourite shows;
Classic shows you’ve binge-watched so many times (but you still love);
Acclaimed Hulu original shows like The Handmaid’s Tale and Castle Rock;
And so much more!
You can save your favourite shows and movies in the My Stuff hub, so you can access new episodes and the TV you love, 24/7. Then there’s the Autoplay feature. No more having to skip to the next episode during a binge, Hulu does it for you.
