"Free" here, too. 

But we prefer R for Data Analysis, not at least because it is OS agnostic.

Furthermore, when I was a student myself, I *hated* to be forced into 
the overcrowded, overheated lab for programming. Now everybody can choose to 
programm at home, in the lab, on the train or on the beach. (Ok, the last one 
is not too important most of the time over here, but today it would be an 
alternative.)

Have a nice summer
