    Microsoft doesn't make a student version of any Windows.

    See the link below for all legal downloads of all Windows editions.

    The digital download is available as ISO file that you can either burn as a DVD or copy to a USB mini-disk and boot from that.

    I think that you always need a disc to get Windows on a Mac. There are various ways to run Windows on a Mac (i.e. Macindows, Parallels, Boot Camp), but I believe you need a disc to use those. There might be a program that allows you to download Windows once the VM (virtual machine) is installed, but I'm not sure. I think I had a program that did that, but I can't remember what it was called.
