Students are not automatically exempt from prescription charges, though many seem to think they are. They can apply for a HC2 certificate, as has been mentioned above, and if they don't qualify for that then prepayment certificates are an option. You can buy them at http://www.ppa.org.uk/ppa/ppc_intro.htm
All this assumes you live in England - things are different in Scotland and Wales.
If you think prescription charges and the system for exemptions are unfair, then write to your MP about it.0
