Is getting an ISIC card when studying abroad worth it?

I used it when I studied abroad. I never made any insurance claim, but you will be amazed at the discount opportunities. For instance, STA (Student Travel Assoc) has killer flight deals. It also helps save on hotels. But primarily, there is a network behind you if you need it.

I would do it, there’s no downside.

Whenever I travel, I just bring my student ID card from my university and ask if there are any student discounts available. I think that I only actually bought an ISIC once, and that was when I was going to be traveling with a bus tour for young adults and they said that ISIC would give me a good discount. Otherwise, I just bring my regular student ID. Also, in my experience, you can use student travel websites for cheaper fares without having an ISIC or an ID.
