UT Employee discount
I recently found that UT employees can also get some Employee discounts in various places ! In a way it feels, US universities are not less than a corporate house ! I dint know this earlier and it seems like a good list to look at it! http://www.utexas.edu/hr/edp/employee/ Though similar settings worked in my previous school in India (MNIT) as well ! There we could un-officially go to a shop keeper and claim the undocumented MREC (10%) discount! But the university here seems to be taking it one step further and they have it officially setup! I guess they tie up with these local and big businesses (hopefully according to the need of the students and other people in the University), for example Wireless services, restaurnets etc. This is a win-win for both, because UT people get some good discounts and business get bulk exposure! This could be certainly useful to many Universities and students in other places of the world !
