<p>question is in the title pretty much. If you did purchase it for the 11% off that they sell it for how frequently did you use it and is it worth it?</p>
<p>I know one person who got it their first semester. In reality, though, most stuff is pretty close. If you’re living on campus, there’s shopping entertainment, food, all within walking distance, so I’m not sure you’d end up taking the T and getting your money’s worth. I’d probably recommend just getting a Charlie Card (they’re free) and loading money on it.</p>
<p>I only purchase it for semesters that I am on co-op. </p>
<p>$250 for 18 weeks = ~$14/week. That’s seven rides on the T (3.5 round trips). So if you plan on using it at least four days a week, then it’s worth it. If you’re an incoming freshman, I doubt it would be worth it for you. For me commuting to and from work five days a week, it is worth it.</p>
