Student Perks: Why I chose the free laptop

Choosing your Student Perk.

Starting university is a big step, and getting the most efficient tools for you can make a huge difference. For me, choosing the laptop student perk offered by the university was a no-brainer and here’s why.

When I was getting ready to join UON, I saw the student perks and was immediately drawn to the laptop scheme. I knew I’d be writing essays, attending online meetings/lectures, and managing deadlines, all I needed was an efficient and transportable device to do that.

The idea of turning up to university already supported in a key area of study made the process more fluid and made me more prepared.

What really stood out was the convenience. I didn’t have to spend weeks researching what to buy or worry about additional budgets. The laptop was fully provided early, set up, and ready to go, meaning I could be more interactive with the university’s systems sooner.

Another bonus? The laptops provided are high-quality and probably the best choice that suits students’ needs across a variety of courses. Whether you’re studying art, business, or science, the laptop is suited for each course, PLUS support is available if things go wrong.

For students who might not have access to a personal laptop, this perk levels the playing field. It’s not just about convenience, but equality. Everyone deserves a fair start, and the Perks offered by the Uni make this possible.
