well , this place being in the middle of uni , i thought that prices would be subsidised by arc and it would be more student oriented . however it's even more expensive than officeworks and there's no big choice at all

Hi Christopherr5, Unfortunately, many students believe that such businesses will allow product accessibility and respective student ‘discounts’ only to discover that prices are in actual fact considerably more expensive than those appearing at regular outlets. We too have found this with various university book stores who claim to offer student ‘discounts’ but in reality, the prices being charged are so inflated that no discount can be identified. This can also be seen in cases where student accommodation is offered (and advertised as being affordable) however the amount being charged is prohibitive and in reality, above and beyond the cost of renting privately. Certain businesses are greedily taking care of their own interests and not offering legitimate ‘discounts’ as claimed. Having said this, we have had no dealings with the afore-mentioned establishment and are therefore unable to comment on any aspect of their operation. Regards, Reeces

It's convenient for a lot of UNSW students to get their books, chocolates, USB sticks, drinks etc from this store, but prices are much more competitive for nearly all items (esp. drinks and USB sticks) elsewhere on campus. The markups are probably to do with subsidising other ARC activities, but not a place to go to for the budget minded student generally. The fresh sandwiches are quite good, and the plain milk is reasonably priced.
