  • I got a free Subway flask thing, some 99p vouchers for there,
    A free membership at my local cinema and a free ticket for there,
    Plus a welcome pack at Halls with a few bits in it.
  • We had free pizza (from Domino's) at our freshers fayre in 2008, but they weren't there in 2009 :(

    2008's freebies were good. I got a cotton "I [heart] Bristol" bag, at least a dozen pens, some vouchers for Spoons, 10% off at Wilkinson, some condoms and bags full of leaflets (which never got read)!

    2009's freebies were quite pathetic last year - came out with just a bag and pen - hoping for better this time round!
  • Not specifically a student discount, but he may be eligible to apply for this (free card, offers discounts around Canterbury):
