Where do the profits which go into selling USYD Access Cards go to? Funding the societies? That would explain why a lot of them require you to have an Access Card.

Just curious.

The more access cards societies have, the more money they get. That's why they require it.

Yeah, it's a nice system of allocating funding.

At the moment I might only really get involved with Mathematics Society (yay for free pizzas and drinks, since they seem quite active.

Yay we can be SUMS buddies lol

I've heard from a few people that it's worth joining SUMS if you're into maths

Get one if you need to join a society that requires it (not all of them do, but I forget whether SUMS is one of them). Otherwise don't bother.

Once you've been at uni long enough you'll understand just how annoying groups like the Union and SRC are. :lol:

I've been at uni forever and still love the Union!

Realised last week that with my keep cup and access discount, a large coffee is only $2.40 :D

Perhaps I'm being overly cynical. To be fair I never really felt like the discounts helped me too much haha.

Where do you get your coffee from? Last year I was using my Access card to get coffee from Laneway, but I stopped this year once I found out Pride of Redfern did it much cheaper.

I tend to rotate between Laneway/Azzuris/Parma because they're all so close to work. Sometimes I'll grab one in Glebe on my way to work but it's nice to go with everyone else around 10 as a way to break up the morning :)

Perpetually disappointed downstairs azzuris closed
