Can you be a student to get edu discount...

[jhomayne]

There's this website called Apple.com, and there's this link called Education after you click on the Store tab... oh nm. It varies between different products. Use the method mentioned and put a US college zip code to find out.

i was just wondering if anyone had had previous experience buying an ibook with edu discount that's all. (uk btw)

I don't know how universal this is but I work at a University and the bookstore here sells Apple stuff at educational discounts. I bought my iPod and several pieces of discounted software in there and not once did they ask me for any ID to prove that I work for the University or am a student, so my guess would be that anyone who walked in there could get the discount.

I work at a University also. Whenever I buy Apple stuff at the educational discount, the counter clerk asks to see my ID, and they photocopy it to send in to Apple.

I guess different bookstores have different levels of commitment to the terms I assume Apple imposes on educational sales.

PS: It seems unfair to me that K-12 students don't get the discount but college students do. Perhaps Apple is concerned that every parent who wants a Mac would buy it in the name of their kid?

Indeed. Educational discount is a pretty odd thing really. I don't really understand why the fact that I'm a scientists working in a University means that I get my iPod $30 cheaper than everyone else. Still, don't look a gift horse etc...
