I used to get all mine in the student union shop - way cheaper than anywhere else.

our union shop sucks and is expensive and all the stationery is ugly stuff - no pretty colours

Freshers' Fair.

It's when all the big companies come and try and win you over by offering competitions, flyers, and free stuff.

Last year the majority of my writing-related stationery - that is to say, pens, pencils, sharpener, and rubbers - was from companies giving their stuff away during Freshers' Fair. I used one pen so much [from SPT] it became my lucky pen I used in all my exams.

I also had a FirstBus pad of paper I used for note taking and doodling.

Admittedly pads of papers, jotters, and so forth I had to buy [from Tesco's and the student union] but pens etc came from companies. Most only wanted an email address in return, and I have a 'spam only' email address [on gmail]specifically for that kinda thing.

Yep freshers fairs are the best source of pens.
I go to both Manchester & MMU for extra supplies.

Probably still go even when i've graduated.
