Personal comments
You need a local student card to get the student discounts for travelling etc. you can get the student card for free from the school. At least i did.
Getting a membership for the local student union is also valuable, as well as voluntary working at Kroa, as you can get discounts from the concerts and events organized at the school. I would have ended up spending much more money if i hadn't gotten the staff -discounts.
