I'm a little confuse about this topic. I'm transferring to a Univeristy this semester and was trying to take advantage of the free ipod deal. I first put the name of my new univiersity in and it had this option where I can put the tax in to calculate the subtotal. However I try putting my old school name in and it says it's an authorize college store. The catch here is this school doesn't have the option to add in the tax to calculate it. Also it had my old college logo on the apple site. I thought it was the browser problem but I switch to firefox and it still did the same thing. I hope that means no tax, but I doubt it.

Does that mean they don't charge tax if I buy it from my old school? Just asking lol trying to save some money.
