Software for Starving Students

Filed under: Software, Technology — Patty O'Flynn @ 6:50 pm



Software for Starving Students is a free collection of programs organized for students (but available to anyone). Softwarefor.org has gathered a list of best-in-class programs onto one CD (one disc for OS X, one for Windows), including a full-featured office suite, a cutting-edge web browser, multi-media packages, academic tools, utilities and more.  This is a great solution for students who may not currently have access to these programs on a home computer. Our tech department has offered to burn a CD for any student who doesn’t have a fast enough internet connection to download it for themselves.
