Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread
Are you going to uni with the view of buying food & drinks REGULARLY on campus? If so, then the discounts will be of some value to you.
Similarly, if you're looking to join clubs & societies, many require membership to Access.
Just for clarification, unless rules have changed this year, you need an acces card to be a member of any club and society (as they are run through the union).
I think joining a club or society is a really good way of meeting people on campus - they are lots of fun and they cater to many different interests.
Similarly, if you want to do a sport, you have to be a member of the sports union.
On the topic of textbooks - if you are studying law, it will
end up costing (at least in 4th yr when it's pure law subjects) aprox $500-700 a semester for textbooks. It's expensive and frustrating, but very difficult to get second hand as they get out of sat very quickly- also difficult then to sell on.
