If youre a post-secondary student, your school faculty/department qualifies for MSDNAA, and that means you can get VS .NET Pro for free, or a negligible price ($5, as speedstickoo mentioned). I got a copy of MSDNAA Visual Studio from an Academic VS .net 2003 launch, without my University applying directly (I just needed a student ID).
If youre a highschool student or - for whatever reason - your school doesnt qualify for MSDNAA, Academic is still fine. As far as I can tell, its just a re-labeled copy of Professional with the sub-par Academic version of the MSDN docs.
Happy purchasing.
