Why Should College Students Have a VPN?

Whether you’re working on public WIFI at the college coffee shop, streaming Netflix, or trading crypto, a Nord VPN can keep students' information safe and your computer or phone secure.

When I was in college we didn’t have to worry about buying a VPN because the world wasn’t trying to steal our data! I guess that’s the tradeoff for convenience, as my only phone at school was the one plugged into my dorm room wall.

Anyway, kids are savvy nowadays really resent being spied on or having their phones hacked.

Here are the top 5 reasons students should consider a VPN from NordVPN:

1. Digital Security: Not all websites and apps are secure, so without a VPN your data could be stolen

2. Public WiFi is inherently insecure. Don’t even think about online banking, shopping, or trading crypto on an insecure school or public network

3. Gaming: A student gamer can avoid bandwidth throttling while staying secure with a VPN

4. Unblock websites, content, and file sharing. Educational websites might be blocked by your school or even by your government. A VPN hides your location and fixes this

5. Data security: With a NordVPN, third parties can’t spy on student internet activity or harvest a student’s data like the photos, video, or private information on their phone

Tip: Many students buy a VPN to circumvent the account-sharing restrictions imposed by Netflix and other streaming sites
