What lanyard do you use for your college id?

[Spoltage]

I had a card in college however I never used it and was never asked for it to be seen and so i just kept it in my wallet for the 2 years whilst i was there. I'm at university now and we were given a cheap lanyard that my i.d card just clicked into, I keep mine on a lanyard as we require it to get into most buildings on campus, classrooms and lecture theaters, we also have to scan it when inside a lecture theater to "sign-in" on the register and to use printers (although due to being on an IT course this didn't happen much..). A lot of people kept theirs in their wallets as the scanners were strong and so they could just hold their wallet up to the scanners. It's up to you on what you do, if you think a lanyard is going to annoy you then keep it in a purse, pocket or easy to find place inside your bag.

Does my college card mean I get student discount and such in river island?

If River Island do a student discount (I don't shop there so I wouldn't know) then they may take it. The problem is some places now only take NUS Extra Cards, these only cost £12 for a year (I got mine for free for 3 years with a TSB Student Account) and you can use them in loads of places (I swear i'm not a representative lol).

Back to your college/uni provided card just ask wherever you shop because you never know what money you can save!!!


Edit: just googled "River Island Student Discount" and found this statement "We don't offer a permanent student discount online or in store, however we often hold special discount events aimed at students. We'll advertise these events on the River Island website, email newsletter, our Style Insider blog and the various social networks." on their website: http://www.riverisland.com/how-can-w...udent-discount

Had a quick look on ebay and these are like the one i was given at uni (mine was black) http://tinyurl.com/qblke59

There are other ones but most seem like they just have a clip at end and no place for a card, unless you have a pouch or card holder of some sort already then they bit useless

We don't do student discount lol, but we do student discount events every so often, typical 4 times a year and yes your uni or student card is fine, no need for a NUS card.

My college didn't start using lanyards until 2011 when I was in my second year, I think they've stopped doing them now as I don't think my sister got one. We were meant to wear them, but no one did. Mine just had my college name on.

I have to wear one for work though too and that just has Home Bargains on, not very fancy .

These are perfect. Easy to pull out and swipe it, then just release and no worry about putting it back into ur wallet or a short lanyard.

My sixth form you don't need to have a lanyard just have your ID on you in case of checks, which have never happened :L The Blackpool & Fylde College which is the other local college they have to wear their lanyards at all time due to high security risks, its a pretty rough college if you dont have your lanyard then you're kicked out

I have one for work and it's free of charge. Branded the lot.
A lanyard is a lanyard. Any will do the trick.
