Not sure if alot of people know about it on NS but how many of you guys are gonna jump on this or at least check it out? I think its a great idea for poor college kids like myself that they are doing pro-forms to lower prices.

Also, do you think more companies will follow suit with doing something like this?

Maybe it's because I'm Australian and don't completely understand American College, but I have NO idea what this is?

Basically when you go to college you get a personal email for all of your college related stuff that is in the college's system. Saga is offering a pro-form deal to anyone who registers their college email address through this program

Does it work for colleges in the UK? I'd be pretty stoked if it did. I tried signing up, but I haven't heard anything back from them.

Patience friend, it takes a few hours to get back to you. And I think they are just setting your email up to be subscribed because that's all that happened for me.

I'm sorry, but what's a college pro-form deal exactly?

all it really is is that you get a special code or website, to access with a code, that has discounts on gear. we have proforms at my shop that i work at and it takes you to some secure website that you can only access with a code.

Saga is just doing this for college kids because we are all poor as shit.

Stupid security check. It doesen't enter my mail... maybe because it's an italian university mail?

I'll be doing mechanical. hopefully it isn't too brutal. I'm more concerned about the social atmosphere though because it is an all engineering school
