Good sites for academic pricing? (MS Office in particular)

[mmnatas]

I've been looking around for pricing on several Office 2k2 applications at academic pricing (I'm a college student) and finding large fluctuations ($25 difference) in pricing (single license, not open 5+). Does anyone have recommendations of good sites for academic discounted software, especially office apps?

Thanks for any help

Uhh, try your college campus =) Don't you have a computer/book store on your campus?

If not, I would do a search on the web. Not for the software site - for a different college 🙂

J/k

You can also buy it from another college's computer store, as long as you have a valid college ID. Any colleges in your area?

Not really, my college would charge more than the high end prices on the web, they like to put quite a markup on stuff, and there aren't many other colleges in the area, none of them are any bigger, so they probably won't have any more than the 5-10 titles my college keeps on hand.

gsaldivar, that's freaking illegal 🙂

At least it should be, looking at thise prices.

ROFL 😀 ... well, the pricing isn't illegal, don't worry - the campuses are actually subsidizing the prices.

If you can find someone who isn't using their purchase privilage - they can purchase on your behalf, I'm pretty certain there isn't a law that preventing them from selling or giving the software to you.

If you *want* to pay more, you can always get this software in unsubsidized form... 🙂
