Just got the email and its now free for everyone and they will be repaying everyone a pro-rated amount for this last months subscription.
Honestly, I fell in love with UE4's UI. Unity's looks immature by comparison. I like how accessible things like particles and basic geometry is in UE4. I was able to use dynamic shadows from day 1 on the $19/month instead of saving up for $1500 for Unity Pro.
Although I did C in college, I fell into the Java/C# camp pretty quickly afterward. I really like higher level languages, so Unity's C# appealed to me. Albeit, it's an older version of Mono and .NET. Also, .NET did go open source recently, so we might be seeing an update to the C# engine in the future.
Since UE4 is now free to download, there are almost no excuses to not download and try it out for yourself.
Even though they had an educational provision, this is still a big thing for students in non-game related coursework!
I had no idea! I guess my perception is stopped at the US border sometimes. This is a much better deal for you I'm sure.

I ended up making the small leap from Unity to Unreal about 2-3 weeks ago. This is pretty fun/awesome/crazy news!
