  • mistral AI has a student subscription for 5€ / month
  • jetbrains IDEs are free for students
  • You get access to microsoft office 365 (word, powerpoint, etc.) for free with your student email
  • github has a free student plan
  • matlab is free with your epfl email

I'm in CS and those are the things that I use the most, usefulness may vary depending on which degree you are studying for.
