Just so you know. I just found out that you can get the full version of Finale at almost half price is you find the academic discount (the link is in really small letters on the site).

anyways, here's the link if any of you college students want to get Finale without paying the ridiculous price for it.

Don't forget to buy using cashback (fatwallet or bing). Find a store that has the highest cashback percent (most likely 5%) to earn back money on your purchases.

A note about buying academic versions. You need to be enrolled in college or university to be eligible. You'll need your school id with your photo and the date issued.

yep. hence "college students" in the titles. It says right on the page that that's required.
