Not all universities are part of the National Union of Students (NUS), but most have a union. Your union, whether part of NUS or not, will be run by a group of representatives elected by you.
If your union is part of the NUS you should consider getting an NUS card. A democracy card enables you to prove your student status – an extra card is good for discounts in hundreds of high street shops, in cinemas, museums, theatres, restaurants, cafes and bars. Your own students’ union will probably also have negotiated deals with local restaurants, clubs and bars to get you cheap deals and student nights.
