is it going to happen and when? I hope it does 'cos I'm sick of paying GSC when I don't even use the services that it provides.. GSC is like $180/sem or $360/year..

The 'food' they serve in the union building is absolute shit.. I'm so glad I'm paying to get a discount on that shit I don't eat :rolleyes:

As the posters around uni say, you use the union even if you aren't conscious of it (for example, withdrawing cash from the ATM in Shortland union building)

Once the premises become privately rented I doubt the ATM's are going to disappear.

Switch to a St George student account, no fees, yay!
The only fees I have are from their stinking ATM.

The VSU is such a load of crap for newcastle uni. The food is shit, and over charged. The discount prices should be what the normal prices are. It feels like, instead of benefitting you for being a member, they punish you for not being one.

yeah, I better think about that next time I take a slash in the toilets within the union building... of course, the Uni wouldn't provide any toilets otherwise :rolleyes:

I hope it does happen. It is a waist of money in my case. I am pretty sure I have never benefited from it apart from the very rare times I have bought lunch from the Brennan Room:).

I doubt I've spent $180 on food/drink discounts.

You will still have to pay the general service charge if VSU comes into force. However, the money you pay will no longer be used to fund student services.
