Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I joined the voluntary program
and am still a member as an alumni, still paying of course.
Membership costs $89
If I Join the advantage program membership in the fencing club costs
me $10 as opposed to $150. Plus I get a discount on beer which over
the course of my years drinking would save me well over the $89 at
union bars....but then I still know a lot of staff and students at UTS
and am part of a uni sports club and always have been heavilty
involved in clubs when I was on campus even as a part time student.
This year I also got a subscription to the Herald worth $30 bucks
which I buy most days anyway saving me more than the purchase price of
the union membership anyway, since I was buying the paper retail
previously.
The benefits for me far out weigh the costs.....
