I have a friend that is a programming major, and the funny thing is these classes make him buy 400+ dollar software along with tuition and books just to actually take the class, the student discounts are crap (seriously how many college students live off a min wage job, 200 dollars is a lot of money to someone who earns min wage).
Whats funny is that he has to end up "using less legal means" to get the software he needs for class, which he doesn't even use unless its for the class, and ends up uninstalling it after the semester is over. Hes even go so far as to attempt to petition the dean of the computer science division to use open source software, but sadly it would cut funding and the college would have to lay off teachers and facility.
Anyway, does anyone else think its becoming harder to be a student these days?
