The university my wife attends (in the USA) has some kind of weird site license where students get it for free from the IT department if they are willing to drop off their laptop with the university. (This isn't a bad deal, since probably the average freshman also buys their laptop from the university anyway). They can pay $10 to get the DVD themselves. (This is a very large state supported school.) My school (even larger and state supported) charges like $92 for the same thing. I've not figured out why two almost identical schools about 20 miles apart have such a different pricing scheme for their students. I do know that in our relationship, my wife buys all the software. :)
