    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    Hey, it didn't take that much time, and a lot of it (like now!) was spent at school waiting between classes. Besides, err let me think.. Uhh.. $4\day.. 4 a week.. uh! Assuming the travelpass is never checked, I just saved my girlfriend $280+ this year with a $45 investment. See, isn't...

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    The politics of which aren't really worth getting into. It's not going to change, however stupid or unfair it is. Really, I'm just hoping there won't be any uni fee hikes for her. So yeah, I did just that and got the yellow travelpass for $45 from a newsagent - it's pretty old school-looking and...

    Fantastic. Thank you for that information! I will look into both tomorrow and report back to the thread at some point.

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    Hey, she's studying teaching. In any other case the government would be begging her to do that! Thanks for the idea about the fake name and all that, though, but it sounds like that'd be more useful for when I was at high school or something - we're both bad liars and would probably trip up...

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    Hmm, okay. It appears that I either overestimated the amount of devious schemes available to get past this requirement or underestimated the ability of ticket inspectors to determine you're not quite eligible for the student ticket. Regardless, thanks for all the advice everyone - 'specially...

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    You know, this year they made it part of the card! It's just a little printed circle. Besides, last year they laminated it anyway, so it'd be awfully hard to get the sticker. This isn't a terrible idea, though. Yeah, this is a problem because they will see the concession and then ask for proof...

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    Not really, she came by herself, and I'm not in touch with anyone who looks too much like her.. I'm not sure if high school cards are the answer - though I suppose she does look a bit younger, it'd probably be better to get one suited explicitly for uni. Also, the high school ticket usually...

    Any ways to get a travel concession for international uni students?

    Hey, Was wondering if any of the creative thinkers here could help me get my girlfriend out of paying the full adult fee for every trip she makes via rail and bus. Currently she pays about $3.80 for a return rail ticket to Lindfield, and $3.20 for a return (well, two one way) bus tickets...

    Coming from the USA to study in Sydney? (And marrying to beat the system?)

    Loans through the New Jersey education loan program. It's a pretty good deal until you have to pay them.

    Coming from the USA to study in Sydney? (And marrying to beat the system?)

    This is a pretty odd question but after researching it all a bit I thought boredofstudies would probably know better than anyone else how this works. I haven't posted before but I found the site pretty useful last year when doing my HSC.. so, er, thanks, collective forum! I hope this is the best...
