Sounds very useful, mind if I take a look?
I removed them from Github to leave place for the next semester, since we are limited in private repos and I didn't made them public since they also have answers to some homework.
I'm a student, so I get to take advantage of this, but if you aren't, a bare git repo in a Dropbox folder makes an okay poor-man's private repo. You need to be careful to let Dropbox sync before you shut down your computer, and, though collaboration is possible with shared folders, you're likely in for a world pain from syncronization issues.
I tried to get one a few months ago. Still haven't heard from them. :(
I think the 7$ dollars a month is reasonable for a great service, I'm a student (while working) but will continue to pay for my repos. I hope others do the same. I think a significant percentage of GitHub's user base are in school for something and could potentially qualify for this, but probably shouldn't if they can afford to pay. That said I use the student discount for Amazon Prime, so I am a hypocrite.
Your $7/month isn't really doing them any favors. They'd prefer if you'd convert your friends.

It is only free for one year. if you need free private repositories, you should stick to bitbucket
