Travel Concessions

Most students, at enrolment time, filled in a lengthy questionnaire on student travel which will provide, it is hoped, the factual basis for submissions to the appropriate quarters requesting some form of travel concessions for bona fide students.

Bona fide students may now, as a result of discussions some years ago between the N.Z. Booksellers' Association and N.Z.U.S.A., obtain upon request a student discount of 10% on all set texts of the University.

In conjunction with the Australian national union (N.U.A.U.S.), N.Z. U.S.A. arranges during each long vacation a travel and exchange scheme, whereby New Zealand students may have a working holiday in Australia, and vice versa, and take advantage of the student facilities in the other country. For the last two years, an attempt was made to fill a charter plane to Australia, which would enable students to cross the Tasman for as little as £24 return: however the scheme did not come to fruition, as in each year there were insufficient applicants to make the trip worthwhile.
