    I'm guessing you found this at an open day/week? :P

    •  

      hahas yea Unsw :D

      •  

        Wasn't there a free SMH (I think?) yearly subscription at o-week last year? It'd be cool if they had that again this year since I missed out last time.

    Good deal mate! Wondering how much the usual subscription is though…

      It is $40 a year and you have somehow come to the conclusion that it is $2000 a year. What is wrong with you?

          $40 for the paper to be delivered 7 days a week (aka one paper delivered per day for a year).

          On an unrelated note, I had the paper delivered on weekends and pickup from unishop last year. The first few weeks were cool. After 2 months I didn't care. After 6 months I never wanted to read or see another paper in my life.

    it's gone up by $10 but seems a better deal than last year. For the $40 you can have it delivered home every day, last year it was just three days a week. And the digital edition as well, which will be useful with the iPad

    Hmmmmm…. seems like you need a University education to subscribe to this deal. That eliminates any existing SMH readers.

      Surely yu know uni family friend or kid. lols.

  •  

    "Print and Digital"? Isn't Digital completely free?

    •  

      The digital one is the "read the paper format digitally". Do you remember that advertisement on television with the guy in the lecture theatre. o_O!

      Anyway, I hope there is something about the Australian soon. I've been using a loophole to get free access for a while, but I miss the paper.

      •  

        Oh okay cool, that's heaps better than the website! However I'm pretty happy with the iPad app that sits somewhere in between and is probably much easier to read/navigate.

  •  

    I am still able to read ALL the articles on my iPad without even logging in.

    •  

      They charge for it to be viewed in newspaper format though don't they?

  •  

    So how do they confirm you're a Uni student ? Can High School students get it ? Also notice they have the offer for Uni staff / teachers but not school teachers ?
    Update: I see the field where they ask for Uni details upon sign-up.

  •  

    anyone know approximately how early these are delivered?

  •  

    Appears not for QUT students..?

  •  

    Btw you might want to mention that home deliveries are rare not sure who or under what conditions you get it, but I never get home delivery for things like these uni deals.

  •  

    Hmm in previous years you'd present your student ID at the campus outlet before you could get receive the card that entitles you to pickup the paper. However, if it's just delivery how do they confirm you're actually a student? Email details to each uni to check?

    •  

      They cant, who says the paper yu pick up aint for a neighbour even if yu do pick it up on the way back from uni.

      This is just something yu cant prevent.

        its all about yu isnt it?

        •  

          yu bet'ya it is.

  •  

    Great deal but no uni students at home anymore :(

    But I did subscribe for a 7 day/6 months subscription for $79.90 just last week thru a door to door salesperson.

    What about The Australian?

  •  

    It's a good deal, just remember you have to pick it up each weekday at the campus newsagency

      No, you don't, this year they're offering 7-day home delivery, even during semester. You can choose Fri-Sun delivery and Mon-Thu pickup on campus if you find 7 papers a week a little overwhelming, but it's the same price.

      •  

        are you sure?
        For (The Age) renewals I was told it was $30 for the 7-day digital edition,
        and an additional; $15 for the weekend delivery & weekday campus pickup, but
        you had to subscribe to the digital to get the weekend/weekday papers.

    Wish telegraph did an offer like this

  •  

    The SMH Uni Card/Pass has a discount benefits program for those that weren't aware: http://www.smhunibenefits.com.au/Home.aspx

    Gets updated with new discounts every now and then.

  •  

    Nice work OP, I subscribed.

  •  

    Hrm, for the people that bought it on campus, did you get a receipt? I'm kinda paranoid because I paid in cash and forgot to ask for one.

  •  

    USyd students: keep in mind that the 2012 ACCESS card (Union membership - required to join clubs and societies) includes the $40 SMH Uni Pass. ACCESS membership is $110 for new, and $90 for renewal (and cheaper for multi-year).
