I am down with a "few" dollars.  However, after perusing a few of the
sites, the bare minimum cheapest going rate seems to be around $30.
Anyone know of any cheaper freebsd CDs out there?   Student rate
perhaps?

FreeBSD is free.
The CD is not free.

That simple.  Once you have purchased a CD you welcome to copy it or
install it as many times as you wish.  Spending a few dollars on a CD is
one way that many people contribute to the FreeBSD project.

Or you can download it off the Internet, if you have a fast enough
connection or enough patience.
