Haha. I never went out of my way to memorize mine, it just happened after I kept having to write it on every test and paper. It's easy to remember because it's 7 digits like a phone number without an area code. Plus the first two digits will be the same for everyone each year. So if you are entering MAC this year, your student number will begin with 08XXXXX. So there's really only 5 numbers to remember. Having that number in your head is important because you're going to be using it a lot.

Haha, mine was so easy to remember. Three of the numbers were the same and in a row too, and then another number is repeated, haha

Almost everyone's will begin with 08. There are some that begin with 07. I'm not sure why that is...but there are a scattered few.

I think some people this year may have 07XXXXX because they applied in 2007 but chose to attend another school or possibly didn't get accepted to Mac (not sure if they would get a student number if they didn't get in though...).
