apple care quick question

[Mattitude]

As a student, can i get any sort of discount on apple care when i buy a mac? I got it in my mind its free or like £50?

Oh yea i'm a HE student this year!

oh phone support, would you say i would need that? like i know my way around OSX so its not like i am going to have problems with software, just want to be covered if something goes wrong.

Another thing what exactly does the 3 year cover?
