There is a large number of people who sign up for university studies just so that they can make use of a number of discounts only allowed to students.

For PLN 80 (around USD 23) it is possible to enroll at one of several universities around the country and save up to 50 percent on bus and train ticket prices, essentially saving hundreds of zloty over the year in travel, cinema tickets and other expenses.
If these “students” do not sit for their exams, and are crossed off the register, they can always register again the following year.
There is no data as to the exact number of people who abuse the system in this manner. (rg)
