I need an older version of sample assets because my college has an older version of unity
I am making a game in college using unity but my school runs an older version of unity so it wont let me download sample assets, does anyone have a link to where I can download an older version or any advice on how to get past this problem.
Also if I update unity on my computer download sample assets then take it in on a usb will it work
Real answer is probably just not to use them. If a demo project is about using scripts and other tools, it's best to have simple cubes as placeholders. If it's about using your own models, textures, animations in a game, then really don't mix in any you didn't make.
People in the business know what a demo is, and aren't impressed by shiny water, etc... .
As soon as you use stuff you didn't make (and everyone will notice right away) it gets people suspicious of even the stuff you did do -- like you're trying to dress up that you aren't confident of your work.

You can't download previous versions of assets from the asset store - you can only ever download the latest version. When an asset is uploaded to the the store, it is marked as requiring the version of Unity with which it was uploaded. So, if I create an asset and upload it using v4.6, it will state that it "requires 4.6", even though I might not make use of any features that require 4.6.
Sometimes assets work with earlier versions of Unity than that with which they were created, but not necessarily. Easiest method is probably to download them at home, import them into a project, and then copy the extracted files direct from the file system to a USB drive and then manually import them into your school computer. You'll get warnings or errors if they use a feature that isn't supported.
