Vendors (if you wish to purchase your own version)

Spartan Student Physical Chemistry Edition ($100) (Mac edition also available)
Spartan Student Edition (missing several important features) ($60) (Mac edition also available)
Hyperchem student edition  ($89)
Note that you will have to provide  documentation of your student status.  These links are provided solely for your convenience; access to computing resources will be provided and you are not required to purchase either of these.  Each is more limited than the full versions running under Linux, but they may provide convenience in constructing and performing preliminary minimizations.

OSU also has a site license for Gaussian '03 and GaussView'03 (Windows only); see me to borrow an installation disk, or check with the consulting desk at the library.
