I am due to start my PHD at the end of the month. Although it's with the Sheffield University , I'll be in London for the vast majority of the time - most of the books I need are in the British Library. Seeing as Sheffield isn't in London, is there any way at all I can get a student travelcard? Seems very unfair if I am ineligible just because of an acident of circumstance. No, I won't be a UoL student, but I'll still be a student in London with just as many money problems!
