Software for students is without doubt one of the best resources for it!

I think they barter deals with the companies themselves that you can't get direct!

LibreOffice is a free office application suite that you might want to download. It's not fully compatible with MS Office, but most commonly-used features are available. You can open MS Office files with LibreOffice and vice versa (although, as I said, certain features won't be supported).

Blimey! A company that does business without money?! That is old school! "Who'll give me a copy of Office for this lovely homemade pie?!"

Similarly, I use Open Office, which is free and open sourced. It does perfectly well for stuff like writing essays, but it can struggle a bit if you want total compatibility between it and PowerPoint.

You may also like to take a look at SkyDrive, which gives you access to a free cloud-based version of Office, although not all the features are there; I've recently been using it for collaboration on a group work project, and it has worked quite well for that.

If you are at university, you can get your software from onthehub.com -- you can use your .ac.uk e-mail address or use a special link if your administrator has sent you one. Microsoft Office University 2010 costs £69.99 (cheaper than software4students).

There's a lot of totally free Microsoft software available too, including Windows 7 and 8 and Visual Studio.

As others have pointed out you don't need to buy an office suite, there are plenty of free ones out there.

Haha, possibly the wrong choice of words there!
