Congratulations for all of you heading into school in the fall. You should know that you may be able to buy a full working copy of Office from Microsoft for $9.95 if your current employer uses Office. Check out Microsoft's Home Use Program. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links or not.

Just as an FYI - to play the devils advocate if you purchase through this program, then the licence is only valid for as lond as you work for your current employer. Practically speaking it won't actually affect your ability to use office at bschool but technically speaking you should uninstall it when you quit your job.

I wont say whether I will be uninstalling mine or not. Probably a worthwhile discussion in ethics classes at bschool though......

Good post. Additionally, I think Office for Mac 2016 preview is still free. It's very stable. I replaced my 2011 with it, and now all excel shortcuts are the same as Windows.

What does this have to do with business school life? Pretty sure nobody is concerned about getting Word...

Doesn't say Word, says Office. Includes Excel. Might use it once or twice in bschool, I'd imagine.
