Student Savings on Microsoft Office
Being a student it can be hard enough finding the money to pay the bills.. let alone for computer equipment to help with your studies. So what are the alternatives to spending long hours and late nights at university libraries using their Microsoft Office programs for your assignments.
This student enquired through his Information Technology Service at university (Australia). He was able to pick up the new trial version of Microsoft Office for free. This allows you to then buy the full version for $75 instead of the $244 academic version – a HUGE saving!
Just imagine! From then on, he was also able to save so much time by studying at home AND an extra $30 a week on transport ($15 petrol per week and $15 parking per week as there is no public transport where I live) by not having to travel so often to University to complete his work!
So… If you’re a student I’d be asking your Information Technology Service at your university if this can also apply to you……Helping you make better use of your time and savings!
