What can you get for free or subsidised when you are a student?Hi
I'm looking for ways to cut costs so I wondered if anyone could list things that are free or subsidised for students e.g. Council Tax and health costs.
Many thanks. Rep for any good money saving tips. -

Re: What can you get for free or subsidised when you are a student?If everyone who lives in the property is a student, you are exempt from council tax - you must apply for this though.
You can get money off a TV licence if the property isn't occupied all year.
Ask for discounts everywhere with your student card. -

Re: What can you get for free or subsidised when you are a student?I'd invest in an NUS card, discounts in lots of shops as well as all cinemas. Some times you can get away with just using your normal uni card but the NUS is a safer bet
