Microsoft Office 365 University was announced by Microsoft as a suite of office programs specifically tailored for students. While we have seen Microsoft try to come up with offerings that cater to the needs of students with the Home & Student edition of their popular Microsoft Office Suite, many will agree that Office 365 University is their best attempt so far.

One great price includes a four-year license for two computers, allowing you affordable access to the excellent features of the major Microsoft Office applications as you head to school. Additionally, the purchase will grant you more storage space on SkyDrive, which will greatly help with storage of academic material.
