There have been whispers through the university that many shops and restaurants that give student discounts are now asking exclusively for an NUS card. It isn’t really possible to validate this exactly but from personal experience alone i have been asked for an nus card a couple of times. SO... i thought i would give you some information on the card and you guys can go from there. You will probably know that an NUS card will get you discounts, some of which are exclusive (i.e. only an NUS card will get you a discount) Just a selection include ‘Ticketmaster’ and ‘Amazon’. In fact if you do shop online most places will only give you a discount with a nus card number because you can’t be verified with a photo online - which is how you get a discount with your matric card in shops! The student union also benefits from the card sales. NUS claim that almost £5 of the £10 card goes back into the union, which of course allows them to do promotions for us (drink promos for example - which are always good!) You are also allowed to use your card for the full year, its valid from the 1st of sep to 31st of August the next year. If you fancy getting one then either ask in at the union or go online to www.nus.org.uk Sarah Conway
To BUNAC or not to BUNAC In the past two summers I have not only taken part in BUNAC’s Summer Camp Course, but also their Work America Programme, where I worked in a theme park for two months in New Jersey. Both experiences have been a great opportunity and have provided memories that I know will be long lasting! Meeting and working with people from all over the globe, experiencing new cultures and being able to travel across the US are only some of the highlights from my adventures. Lazy days at the beach in Miami, to cheering on the Phillies, as well as visiting trendy areas in New York are just a few fond memories from my travelling in the US. So what are you waiting for?! If you want to have an unforgettable summer, as well as, making your CV attractive to employers then why not come along to the BUNAC Road show in the Saltire Centre between 10 and 6pm on Wednesday 26 November. There
will also be a presentation for Summer Camp 1pm and 2pm in the George Moore Building room M142 as well as a Work America/Canada talk between 5pm and 6pm in the George Moore Building room M402. It’s the cheapest way to work and travel in the States so the question is to BUNAC or not to BUNAC- I know what my answer will be!
