After an hour searching Google and trying everything (including the Student Account home page)...and searching the Paypal website and my Paypal account (both new and classic view), I finally got it done -----Thanks to YOU, titophe !! The link worked perfectly and my son's new student account now is listed on the Summary page of my account. He immediately received his welcome email. I am still waiting on Paypal customer service's email response to this cannot open student account issue. I sent the email 12 hours ago (they claim it could take up to 24 hrs - fair enough). Your link got the job done and helped greatly. Thank you very much. PS I cannot help but think of the lost chances to get new Paypal customers through student accounts. Too many people will not go through this type of hastle searching for answers to setup a student account. It should be really obvious and easy to do from the Summary page.
