The Office 2003 trial is free for 60 days. If you want to use it after that,
you have to purchase it.

Most schools have Office available at a steep discount for students. You
should ask about that at your bookstore. At the very least, here's some info
on Office for students and teachers.

seems to apply to K-12, not to college students.

just download a crack for it.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Tell someone who is a student that if they want
something bad enough, just steal it, get a crack for it, don't return that
book to the library, that car was just sitting there not being used and I
needed it, that store charges too much - they won't miss a couple of pairs
of pants, I wasn't old enough to get the beer so I had some old guy buy it
for me...

Way to go champ - create a thief and then later wonder why your world has
turned to crap with the types of people that inhabit it.

Jeez!

And people wonder why Microsoft started this "Product Activation" thing (in Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft
Office 2003 Editions).

....

Certainly it couldn't have had anything to do with pricing. Purely
irrelevant that 'competitive upgrades' for Office apps were around
US$100 until the late 1990s, when Lotus and Corel finally floundered vs
Office 97. All of the sudden, Office upgrades more than doubled in
price.

Clearly it's the public's fault.
