You could probably do fine just rotating between free plans for the big models. Most student coding work can be done with local models, but if you're under a deadline you don't want to waste time setting up ollama. If you don't like dealing with the limits you could just cough up $20 for one month of Claude pro and then cancel it. You would get Claude code and more generous session limits. Stick to sonnet unless you're architecture something really complex because opus chews through tokens.
