As a student, I’m sure a lot of you have big goals, and saving up would be the first priority that comes to your mind, but at the same time, we would like to have some fun with our friends. So, how can you take both fun and saving money into account?
- SSU provides fun activities at a low cost
If you haven't heard of SSU (Swinburne Student Union), you're seriously missing out. Swinburne Student Union is led by a group of students elected by Swinburne students and supported by an incredible staff team. The student representatives work to ensure that the university hears the students' voices. They actively solicit student feedback, attend university meetings, plan campaigns, organise events, and much more. Furthermore, they occasionally host events and parties for as little as $10 or for free! Isn't that amazing? You could even bring your friends who aren't Swinburne students to the events and parties without having to break the bank.
