Because you shouldn’t take our word for it, we gave higher-education students an early look at Office 365 University and here are some of their reactions:
- “Office 365 University costs a fraction of what I spend on textbooks for a semester, and, unlike a textbook, it never becomes out of date, and I can use it the entire time I’m in school. That’s a steal.” – Grant Gumina, Purdue University
- “Microsoft Office is easily the most important product I use on a daily basis, and, with touch capabilities and cloud integration in the new Office, there is no competition at this price. College students can’t afford not to get it.” – Mike Riess, Baylor University
- “I was already happy with the Office 365 Home Premium prices, so when I heard the education pricing my jaw hit the floor.” – Devin Pastoor, University of Maryland
