Hail Shadow,
You are quite right: if you are a student, you can get a great 50% (sometimes more) discount on training. I myself am going to an Iaido dojo tonight, to see if I can afford to study there (lessons are going to be easy, and uniform shouldn't be too hard: a Bokken and, later, an Iaito, are going to be the hard parts).
I know many, many fellow students that are doing fencing, and a few doing Kendo too: if you want to hit someone, look into them. They *can* be a little costly in equipment, but many places shall let you collect your own over time, and let you use house equipment until you have everything of your own.
All students should check what is going on nearby, and try to take full advantage of these things: you'll likely regret it if you do not ;)

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
