Shopping for College Software

While textbooks cost more than normal books and the less said about the on-campus Burger King the better, software is one of the few true bargains you will find in college. Many software companies will give an educational discount of 70% or more off retail and a few will even give their software away for free to students.

With discounts like these, I recommend you stock up on software before you graduate. This is the one thing I miss most from my college days.

Also, there are more than a few kind-hearted programmers who give their software away for free to everyone, even non-students.

Click on the "Stores" tab to find a place to buy educationally priced software. Click on the "Free" tab to see my recommended list of free software.
