What to do before not being a student any more

Options
I was halfway through a PhD and running a company. The company has been doing surprisingly well in the last year and I have just verbally agreed with the university to intercalate for 6 months because I was struggling to do both at the same time. I will try to resume the PhD work in 6 months but I think it's unlikely.

Anyway, I would like to know if there are any student discounts/benefits that members wish they'd taken advantage of before not being a student any more.

    If you wear glasses I got a good discount (30% IIRC) from Vision Express before I stopped being a student - although buying from ASDA a few years later was cheaper still.

    Student rail card if you are over 25 already.

  • Not really an advantage/ offer, but when I first finished my degree I made a real effort to get out of my overdraft. After about a year, my bank switched me from a student to a graduate bank account, and my overdraft stopped being interest free.
