    The university having M365 and the students having M365 are not the same thing. Students don’t subscribe to M365 Business because they need word or excel. Students would subscribe to M365 Family or Personal, or just buy office outright. Students get a huge discount too.

      It’s still a rip-off

        What is? M365 Business? M365 Family or Personal? Office suite outright purchase?

      Actually not in this particular case, the university had MS365 Business and gave us accounts in order for us to use the service. As soon as MS revoked access, we all lost access

        Sounds like this university was an absolute shitshow then.

            So not Microsofts fault then :). Universities should not be using employee licenses for students.
