I started my web design class last night and we were given a link to journeyed.com to order software if we wanted it. I bought Adobe CS3 Design Premium for $309!!! Its normally $1799!

Yeah I bought Adobe CS3 Design Premium this Year and Adobe CS2 Suite Last Year both for $199. It sucks cause our school has a contract with adobe and upgrades every year so I have to also and since Adobe was cruel and made CS3 not backwards compatible to CS2 I had to upgrade so I could work on stuff at class and at home.

yup, the student discounts have alwways been dirt cheap. some hardware manufactures also give discounts to students.
I once bought a wacom tablet at academic pricing. saved me over $150 bucks if I recall.

I'm no longer a Student, but when I signed up for iTunes, I was a student.
So Apple gave me a student discount when I bought my MacBook Pro

look at the link i posted, it's Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 for $60, it's an offer through Microsoft for students. they first verify it by a your school email and then may require you to send in your student ID.

That's a pretty good price. I just paid $600 for Design Suite Premium this past week with my student discount through adobe.com.
A couple years ago at the Art Institute, they sold a package that included Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Final Cut HD and LiveType for $200. If you were in Animation, you could get all of those plus Maya and 3D Studio Max for an extra $200.
I always buy my programs since I do a lot of subcontracting work. No sense in going to jail over a few programs. Plus it's nice to have have disks handy whenever you upgrade your OS.
Just recently upgraded from Panther to Leopard.

the price that's it. The thought is that they'll provide the software for cheap cause
A. students are broke and can't afford to pay full price and they need the software for the class their taking.
B. if you learn how to use their software you'r more likely to stick with what you already know then switch to a new software and then they'll make their money when you upgrade.
It's just like gillette sending you the free razor in the mail on your 18th birthday!
