Just wanted to post my experience. I have tried other .edu addresses for discounts, etc and they wouldnt work. I was hesitant to purchase something online but figured I would give it a try as the upside was much greater than just $5. I am super happy I did. Prasha is great to deal with and replies to ALL my PMs very quickly and I had my address about a day later. If I ever need another .edu, he will be the first perrson I come to. Thank you!
