+1 for Bitbucket, unless you want to deal with the hassle of moving over from github to bitbucket when you no longer qualify as a student.
Or... you can pay $7/mo, given that as a nom-student you can probably afford that much? :P

THIS. Bitbucket is free for personal use. Unlimited private repos. Edu accounts have unlimited collaborators... FOREVER. and they're super responsive to support requests, support importing code from more sources, and support mercurial and git both. Also the ticket trackers let you attach arbitrary files, not just those animated gifs :)
Also, BitBucket supports Mercurial, which is used by some major academic projects (for example, the Jikes Research Virtual Machine). I also personally prefer Metcurial, so having the choice is great.
I did this when I was a student, and I recently had to move over the private repos to bitbucket when it expired. Just stick to bitbucket for private repos.
GitHub is a pretty great service (IMO). Totally worth paying for. If cost is your number one driving force, then sure -- go with Bitbucket -- but I think GitHub provides a way better experience (for users and developers).
I stick to Bitbucket for all my private stuff and even some public stuff. Whoever cares about my public code has to do exactly the same process in Bitbucket as in Github (i.e., just gets the URL and goes there to see the code).
What experience do you find better in Github? (note, I use Github for work )

> supports git and mercurial If you're implying that you're stuck with git if you use GitHub, you can use SVN with GitHub if you really want to. https://github.com/blog/1178-collaborating-on-github-with-su...
> you can use SVN with GitHub if you really want to. How is that remotely relevant? Mercurial is a great DVCS with a user experience that is (in my opinion) far superior to git. SVN on the other hand is...I don't think I need to rehash this tired old DVCS vs SVN argument. I would love hg support on github, but until that time will use bitbucket for my own projects, perhaps occasionally syncing to GitHub using hg-git.

I'm a student. I've filled it out at least three times in the past and never gotten anything.
Me too. Are you from outside the US? That might be it, as my university does not use a .edu.
EDIT: Registered again and it worked! Goodbye bitbucket.

This is a bad idea b/c of sync issues. Just use bitbucket, which is a poor man's github.
How do you classify Bitbucket as poor man's github? It has almost all the same features, supports git and mercurial and unlimited private repos.
I don't understand the fascination with github. Bitbucket gives you unlimited private repos for free, no special requirements. It has wikis, issue tracking, and contributors.
I like to think of Github as Facebook, Bitbucket as Google+. I use Bitbucket all the time (and love it), but it doesn't have the social network for whatever reason.

I'm not arguing one (D)VCS over another, I'm just mentioning that you have some limited flexibility just like you do with BitBucket. Your emphasis was on the "and", so I assumed you were counting the option of choosing your DVCS as a benefit, not the specific DVCS that were offered.
