There are 2 versions aviable
One is online only and that's free
The second one is full office 365
That's $2.50 a month (charged to the college)

And from what I searched few weeks ago 1TB storage is "OneDrive for Business" option and it is not free. It can be added extra to free on-line office package.

Hey guys just wondering I'm at the menu with all of the online versions but there is still a box saying "setting up". What is actually setting up and will I get Word/powerpoint etc actually downloaded onto my laptop? Cheers. In DCU by the way.

Also, if you know any students in the school of computing, they have access to full versions of Office & Windows (7 I believe, which will let you get 10) - it's an .ISO on their shared folders and I think you need their email to get the CDKEY!

maybe your thinking of dreamspark ?

That's the one.

Not a shared folder but Dreamspark is pretty handy. We get all the server editions and anything you would ever need
