Chalk got it in one, the only difference beyond the type of licence it is, happens to be the price they charge. The idea is to get you hooked on it while your a student and then you wont change over to other programs later on.

There may also be a clause in the licenses of some Academic versions that you can't use it once you are no longer a student, then again they change their t&c's so often that even people who sell microsoft licenses for a living can go on three day courses on licensing.
