When changing your Presto card to a student account, do you have to go to a GO transit kiosk, or can it be done at Compass?
I ask because on the Presto site, it states that in order to have a student account, you must be between the ages of 13-19, which excludes the majority of university students

Student = highschool student or university/college student
It says 13-19 for the high school, but trust me, you can get a student account. You may or may not get asked for id to prove you are a student.

If you're on campus, it doesn't hurt to see if you can change your account at compass... just go check, otherwise you have to go to the GO Station at Hunter st (not sure of any other kiosks in hamilton)

They changed mine at compass. I think you have to get it done again in October, though, because it will expire Oct 31.

You can do this @ compass or a go station terminal/kiosk. And yes you have to redo this everywhere cause they make sure you stay a student.
