I don't think this is true. While some student cards may have rewards that cater to students, it's easier to get approved as a student compared to other cards. A student is more likely to get approved for the Chase Freedom vs. Sapphire Preffered or Discover More for Students vs. Discover It, etc. The requirements for income, time at job, time at residence, etc, are lower for these cards and for students.
