The Great 'Student Discounts' hunt

Wiggynut

does anyone know if the Microsoft office discount is available for mac users?
I got a leaflet with the Natwest account saying it's £38.99 but I'm sure that's only for window users! otherwise it's £79!

bit steep as I'm buying a lot of other software (educational versions) and that's going to cost me either £385 or £485 (depends if I want to get the new CS4 package!)

even if you are not with NUS anymore you can still get an ISIC card full time degree level students only, a scholar card upto 6th form students or a youth card under26 dont have to be a student and get the majority of these discounts mentioned as well as loads internationally!!
Try USIT or STA travel agents for them!!

I came across software4students.co.uk, they seem to have good deals on Microsoft software such as Windows and Office, has anybody used them before?

Rosie "however if you are in 6th form and under 18 you can get a Dubit card https://www.dubit.co.uk that gets you 10% off at pizza hut and special offers and so on"

Sorry Rosie slightly wrong

Any Student in the school system who is over 12 can get proof from their school which will allow them to apply for an international student card from STA.

If you are working in education you can apply for a teachers card. see the STA web site. https://www.statravel.co.uk Even if you are no longer in education and under 26 you can still get IYTC Youth card.

When travelling you would be amazed what discounts you can get. You can use in the UK

Check out your local hairdresser to find out what day is their student day for your haircuts. This could save you an absolute bomb!

Try the apple web site - you need to enter the education shop. You have to be on campus to get entry to the site since it checks the ip address. You will need to select your institution.

All software and computing manufactures offer Student discounts you just have to ask and prove that you are student ie Uni ID card!

Barracuda Pubs do a cheat card. Costs £2 and gets you discounts of certain drinks. It also gets you 241 on drinks in some of the pubs on selected nights.
