Free Student Stuff

Most students are limited when it comes to having extra money. Tuition, college text books and living expenses usually means no money left over for other necessities.

Most companies are aware of the limited financial resources students have and will often offer free or low cost versions of their products for students. It benefits companies since they figure if they can get you hooked on their low-cost product now, chances are you will be more than happy to pay for their higher-priced versions once you have graduated and are bringing in the big bucks!

With that being said, we have compiled a list of resources that are free or low-cost to help you conserve your extra money for things like tuition, books, and pizza delivery !

Free Software Programs

Below are listed many of the basic programs you will be required to use during your college career. Most of them are free for anyone to use.

It is also important that you make sure your operating system is up-to-date and that you have all the most recent security patches installed on your system. You can check your system to find out which updates you need for your operating system by going to the Microsoft Update site.
