My parents, together, earn less than 15k a year. So you're not the only one in a tight squeeze ![Smile](http://www.japanforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

crap; i can understand that is ALOT
but the course should be able to provide some of the equipment.. most proper courses (at art & design Universities at least) have stuff students can use, on a loan like the libraries...
that and the computers (/macs) at the course should surely have said programme on them for you to use there?
you'd still need to buy it after the course, but it gives you more time to save up for it... also look into "Student" licensing on some software; Adobe does it, i got CS2 for £300 (normal rrp; £500/£600)
if your course can't provide any of that for you then look elsewhere, other ones might be able to
