USYD access card worth it? (1 Viewer)

[Airstrike]

Hey, I've been debating hard on whether it is worth to buy the access card
$99 - 1 year
Pros: clubs/societies, discounted food, discounts on and off campus
Cons: quite expensive for me, might not be using it a lot (bring food from home - since it's cheaper), might not have time to attend clubs

What do you guys think?

Well it's up to you, but for me personally, it's worth it for the clubs and societies. Joining a society or club is a great way of meeting people, and getting involved with university life. I've bought one every year (6 yrs) - in my early years at uni I joined quite a few clubs and societies, in the past couple I've just been involved with 1 club (but on the executive etc assisting to run it).

edit: you also usually get cheaper tickets to union run parties at manning etc. I don't go to these much anymore, but they were fun.

I've bought it twice in the last four years. You can just as easily become an unofficial club member and still participate in activities. Just ask the club to put you on their mailing list. It doesn't cost them anything extra to include you, the only downside is you don't get the access discounts.

I find it annoying that you have to have an ACCESS card to join clubs. But it really depends, I got it more for the subscription to the SMH and to be able to join clubs.

You can always just try getting it this year and if it doesn't feel worth it, don't bother getting it in future.

There was an awesome guy today whos hand I shook really firmly, who was wearing a silly hat and handing out candy.

I think it's worth it
a) some clubs require you have an access card to join
b) some events will be free for access members
c) discounts will probably eventually add up so it's worth it!

*Gasp* Red skins, chupa chups and cupcakes on Thursday - USU is the best ~ I wonder what goodies the new Access members get. We got speakers, a diary and pen etc. last year.
