Being a college student can be very expensive, and software companies understand this. That is why they offer discount software to students. The websites below all have an awesome selection of this discount software. So check them out, and save hundreds on computer software and gear!
Journeyed.com
JourneyEd.com has a huge selection of software ranging from animation to test prep and everything in between. They also have very good deals on software and frequently run promotions making great deals even better. They also have a good selection of hardware, books, and bags that they offer at discounted prices to students.
Studica.com
Studica is another site that focuses on giving student discounts. They have a nice selection of both software and hardware. They also have a music section where you can buy instruments and music software.
AcademicSuperstore.com
Not only does Academic Superstore have an awesome selection of bargain software, but they also have an electronics section. Here you can find deals on things like cameras and calculators. I even found a great deal on an Xbox 360 controller. This site is definitely worth checking out.
CampusTech.com
Campustech.com is owned by JourneyEd.com, and like Journeyed.com, Campustech.com has a good selection of software, hardware, and books.

It's also worth looking at open source alternatives before paying for software. OpenOffice is great alternative to Microsoft Office and GIMP is a usable (but somewhat confusing) Photoshop alternative. There's a great website called Ninite (http://ninite.com/) that allows you to check what software you want and it will automatically install it for you.

Finding discounted or low cost software is essential, especially when you are a cash strapped college student. When you have almost no money coming in on a steady basis getting any discount you can goes a long way and allows your cash to last longer.
When founding Crabby Digital we set out to bring extreme value software to students just like yourself. We provide extreme value and rock bottom prices by leveraging the power of Open Source and adding in fanatical customer support. This is a win for everyone involved.
We currently are running a back to school special on our OpenOffice Software Package-only $29.97, if you act now. We include step-by-step directions for making the product compatible with all Microsoft users. This will ensure your teachers and classmates can easily open your files. Check it out now @ http://ow.ly/2ukno
If you want even more value we offer you the Ultimate Software Bundle. This product includes the famous OpenOffice suite as well as 23+ other products that will accomplish the majority of tasks one would want to use a PC for. This bundle is available immediately after checkout from our website @ UltimateSoftwareBundle.com or in DVD format from our eBay Store @ CrabbyDigital.net.
I wish you the best as you continue to complete your college classes.

Very good list of resources. However, are these only for US based students or can international students also get discounts? It’s expensive being a student everywhere and so it would be nice if all of us could get a discount.
