I am very frustrated with this website. It should noit be difficult to navigate in the site for the 99 dollar student version of matlab! If anyone can please help me find the correct way to purchase the software. I have spent hours trying to find the link. Aweful site design, and not at all user friendly! :(

Did you ever try google?

This was the first link:

http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/

Note: the link there will not be available in all countries.

The problem wasn't the link, it was my profile. There were 2 options in my profile that both stated academic use, and the one I clicked was bringing me to the student version for 500 dollars. It took me a very long time to realize that is what I had to do to get the 99 dollar version. It wasn't clear in finding this as the solution, and I blame mathworks.com. I had a very poor experience, and since someone has asked this same question in google before, I am sure I was not the only student who has spent a couple hours trying to buy this software.
