well, speaking as someone who has never been to a usenix, I'll say
the two reasons why I've never been.
1) time; it's during the week and I seem to always be tied up in
a semester when usenix comes around. That is, well the winter
meet is in February (in a week or two). I'd have to miss a
week of classes. Usually I also take summer classes ... and
missing a week of summer classes is much worse than missing
a week of classes during a normal semester.
2) money; I'm not your normal poor-starving-college-student, but
I'm close enough that I spend money like I am one.
Of the two the timing is the more important. I manage to go to
lots of things during the years ... SCA events mainly, and also
SF Conventions. I would *really*love* to come to a Usenix and
could easily manage it if it were mostly over a weekend.
