Registering at the student medical practise
I think it's a waste of time (in my case at least) frankly.
Basically, if it's a problem that's not bad enough to stop me getting a train home (Leeds to Manchester) and seeing my regular GP, that's what I'll do. If it is bad enough to stop me, then it's bad enough to get down the hospital.
Fair enough if you live well away from uni, registering is probably for the best, but if you don't, you might as well just hop on a train and get to your regular doctor (who you'll most probably prefer due to the familiarity) and get enjoy some free food at the 'rents as an added bonus.

why put up with minor annoyances, if you are registered close by you can go to the doctors,get some advice have a few tests taken get some painkillers/other tablets and take them and it won't disrupt your studies or life much but can help make you feel better, if you have to rush back to where you are from everytime you get ill you will miss out on uni,seeing freinds etc, and it'll be a waste if you find out nothing was wrong at all.
registering is free, takes about 5minutes, and gets you free painkillers/iron tablets/antibiotics whatever you might need ever, without having to travel far at all.
Healthcare is not just for when you are at deaths door, its to help with those day to day little problems as well.
also medical practise GPS are more used to dealing with studnets,and the commen problems they come accross, and are, or at least in my case were, much more approachable,frindly and helpful than the GP from your local area that deals with all ages of people with very different issues.

They're not free unless you have a HC2 certificate (or for contraceptives).
Seeing as I now basically live in Cambridge it makes sense for me to be registered here - it's a 3 hour £30 train journey I can do without! I've been registered the whole time though, and the only time I've had to register at home was when I had glandular fever in the holidays. It probably is a personal choice, but I'd stick with the university town one unless you have really strong reasons for wanting to stay with your home GP.
