Why would you need to pay MS365 if you are enrolling student. Most are provided by school and paid by your tuition.

But seems like a good deal if it allows people with edu email but not enrolling
.edu email address is all I needed to subscribe at the student rate. A verification email was sent to my email, and I just had to click the link in the email to verify.
This is actually a very good deal if you can use the storage

Just an FYI for others:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/w...nt-program

If you have a corporate email that applies here (you can also use a friend's work email), they offer even the family plan at a discounted rate.

I caught a sale last summer I think I paid $48 for an entire year of the family plan (6 accounts)??

The address I used to verify does NOT have anything to do with the actual sign up so anyone that can help you 'verify' can get you the discount

The extra sale I saw when I got this was what was really good tho

The family plan with corp discount currently shows for $68, individual $48

Not sure if anyone else ran into issues, but I tried using e-mail as the verification process and when I click the link in the email; I am getting this error: The client does not have access rights to the content.

My school which provides it, doesn't have the 1TB of storage.

Also to add, a typical 365 personal is $58.99 from Costco ( say $60). Where here you are looking at $36. So a decent $14 saved, not a whole lot but not bad.

My math says this is a $24 savings (using your $60 value). But don't take my word for it, my degree is from a state university. :-)

I don't think a Word processing application should ever cost a monthly fee.

You sign in after clicking on the verification email using the account you're trying tro puchase for (not the edu account). At least that's how it worked for me.
