File a complaint against your university for not acting in the best interest of their students. They should be an example to you and pay for the license to use whatever software you need for your studies. They wouldn't advise you to not pay for gas or public transport (and how to not pay) for your commute to the university, now would they?

@vyrtruus yes, they are that cheap. Although some professors take it on their own to supply students with software which is cool. However this prof. doesn't care
University decided we have to use Wolfram Mathematica with instructions how to *cough* find it *cough* for free. I was really annoyed with this, because I didn't want to "find it" so I stumbled upon SageMath and it's working good enough. I get pissed when somebody tells me I have to pirate software (I'm no saint, I've done it before), it's not fair to students who don't have 100$ to throw at a software they'll use for 3 months and never again probably...
