I must say I was impressed how well they fit/ held-up.

TIP:
1. As for technical schools/training if my memory serves me correctly most instructors will supply students with a list of recommended tools you’ll need to start out with.
2. If you explain to most tool route sales personal that you are in tech school a lot of the big names will offer discounts for students, check/talk with your school to see who they coming through their doors.

Keep up the hard work &
Good point Johnny! When I was in tech school, we got a great discount at one of the local machinist tool suppliers...saved me a bundle.
Checking for a company ready to sponsor you're tools might also be a good idea.
