The last time I purchased Microsoft Office, I paid the full price. I never even thought to buy it for my son, who was a full-time student back then. As a matter of fact, he's still a full-time student, only now he's a full-time college student.
Microsoft sells several different versions of their office product through resellers. If you're going to buy it anyway, why not buy it through CostCaptain.com, where you're guaranteed the real deal and with any applicable discounts? Students only need to prove their academic statuses to get the discount.
I'm not going to compare prices here because prices change. I can tell you this though: The student version is about the same price as Microsoft Office Standard and doesn't have all the standard features. Why not get the better of the two? Use your student discount and get what I got for a lot less.
