Does SFU or UBC give their students discounts on magazines subscriptions like Forbes, Economist, Business Weekly, etc? I wanted to subscribe but holy cow it's expensive. Magazineline seems to have terrible reviews and discountmags doesn't look like they have much of a deal for these mags. Any subscribers know of any good deals?

if you go under "student subscription", you save like 50 cents an issue

You're better off scouring RedFlagDeals for special subscription codes that come up every so often. I subscribed to the Economist for about a year and I started off with a 12 issues for $15 deal. I discontinued my subscription after a year because I simply couldn't keep up reading it every week.

When I was a subscriber, I also received coupons every so often with offers of gift subscriptions to students, etc. If my memory serves well, I believe the cost of such subscriptions was $120-150 per year. Unfortunately that's the cost of a quality print magazine like the Economist these days.
