More art inclined majors will also be happy to know that they can get professional-level design software for free as a student. Student licenses only last for a year, but, you have the option to renew them at the end of each year (Jet Brains). In order to sign up, you will need to verify that you attend Penn State using your Penn State email. Which is a really good deal considering a license to use some of their software can cost about $400+ a year. Offers students the ability to use a larger variety of their applications for free. For example, Jet Brains, which is known for its programming and software development applications. There are other companies that offer free software use for students. While what the university offers us is really cool. We also are able to access Adobe creative suite, which includes a vast quantity offered by Adobe, including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Audition, and more (Penn State). Through the university, we get Microsoft office, which includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, etc. However, what I find a lot of people are not aware of the large variety of software available to students for free all you have to do is sign up.įirst, we have software available to us through the university. A lot of this software is through the roof expensive and definitely out of our budget. Which can be a problem because often there is certain software we might like to try or learn in order to make ourselves more marketable for jobs. As college students, a lot of us are just plain broke.
