Unity student version question
So I'm 14 and I want to get Unity pro but it is to expensive, so I have seen stuff about a student version and I wanted to know if I am able to get it because Im in middle school and I thought it might only be for college students.
Thanks in advance!

Technically, according to the Studica Who Can Order page, as long as you are a currently enrolled student and can provide proof (Student ID or class schedule works).
The price of Unity will depend on how you are planning on using it as well as what platforms you wanted licenses for. If you only plan on playing around in Unity and don't plan on releasing to the public, the Student license will work for you. It only lasts for one year, andi t cannot be upgraded however, so if you buy it now, you might be stuck with Unity 3.4.
There is also a Student Commercial license that allows you to produce commercial content. However, it costs 50% of what the normal Unity licenses cost. Also, you only get one copy so you can only use it on one machine. Again, it is 50% of what Unity normally costs so it would still cost you $750.
There are more restrictions that I listed here, but this should give you the basic idea.
