	Yes they offer substantial discounts through the colleges.  I
am a Pitt student and can get there products at about 50% off when 
buying through the college.  These are not cripples in any way, I 
get the exact same thing as you would by buying the normal way.

 (partial) Pitt Computer Center Price List:

Quattro								48.00
Quattro Pro							67.20
Sidekick Plus							48.00
Turbo C								48.00
Turbo C ++							67.20
Turbo C ++ Pro							134.40
Turbo Pascal							48.00

MS stuff is also available:

MS Windows 3							85.68
Ms Word for Windows						130.41
MS Excell for Windows						130.41
MS FORTRAN							258.75
MS QBasic							45.00

Plus lots of hardware.  The only catch is that you must be a full time
Pitt student or Employee and you cannot resell for 1-3 years (it varies).

Check your Univ to see if they have an arrangement already.  I think
they will only sell through a Univ, not to students directly.
