As you can see from our previous review, we are focusing on the topic of purchasing software online – specifically, offers that appeal to students.
Many students spend hours searching online for the best deal. Eventually, many of them end up at websites such as the one we are examining today – AcademicSuperstore.com. It advertises a great many attractive deals on popular software products such as PhotoShop (which we are using as our example to get a frame of reference).

Over the last months and years, we’ve reviewed pages and pages of different educational websites for students. However, we realize that there is still stuff that we are missing.
If you are studying in the US/UK, you probably spend more than you would like to (or than your parents would prefer) on education-related, or personal, software. This can be costly. For example, if you are a design student, you will quite likely need Adobe PhotoShop.

We all know that there are numerous counseling services on the Internet. Some of them are good, and some of them are bad. One important thing about them is that people still think that they can find a lot more information and learn something by themselves, online. Of course, this is the situation for many Internet users: they can find most of what they need online.
However, it is impossible to overestimate the value of a personal, tailored, approach. Imagine that during all those years of study in various educational institutions, at any level, you had had the chance to ask all the questions that occurred to you, even the dumbest ones, without worrying about being ashamed in front of the class?! I am certain that many people fall behind in school for exactly this reason. Continue reading…

It is often the case that not all students graduate with equal technology skills. This can be the result of inadequate equipment and instruction in school due to a lack of funds or foresight on the part of school administration. It can also result from kids paying little attention to such instruction because it does not seem fun or relevant (although we all know that young people pick up on technology for games or chatting with lightning speed).
Then, unfortunately, when these same young people need to demonstrate their technical skills, they have little to show in terms of competence. This is deadly to career prospects in a world where virtually every job, from warehouse worker to brain surgeon, involves interacting with IT. Continue reading…

Education is one of the toughest choices anyone makes in their life. We all hear unending advice from family, friends, co-workers, neighbours, and anyone else who wants to add their two cents.

In this hostile and challenging environment, anyone who manages to choose their education wisely, based on a true assessment of their abilities, desires, and the marketplace, is truly blessed.

As you’ve probably already noticed, we pay a great deal of attention to the issues faced by international students/exchange students who come to the USA and UK in search of a prestigious and substantive education. This is why many of our blog articles cover start-ups and ideas relevant to this category of student. Why exactly? We see that studying abroad can be a major challenge.
One of the major issues confronted by foreign students is financing their education. Most local students don’t receive financial aid, and an even tinier fraction of foreign students receive scholarships, and those are real superstars in their fields. Continue reading…

In the current economy, experts predict that most of us will have several sequential careers, and, if you are aware of this, you may have contemplated a second course of education to make yourself more marketable.
Especially if you are a ‘senior’ student, this issue becomes even more pressing – your choice of where to go, what to take in which combination, and what to do first all, may confuse you. You have probably already done a mass of research online and pored over directories offering course information. Continue reading…
