Where can I get Indesign for CS5?

Question

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get Indesign for CS5? I'm a former student of Kaplan University. I was charged $$ for the purchase Creative Suite 5 (CS5) from the university for use in classes for my BSIT, but the version I received from them for the full purchase price did not include any version of Indesign?!
Prices around the 'Net, including the Adobe store, seem quite high for the CS5 version of Indesign, despite the fact there's already a CS6 version out there. Problem for me is that I can't afford to purchase it at $900 nor purchase a whole new CS6.
Found out I really needed Indesign as a cohesive for the rest of the programs in the Creative Suite after purchasing a self-teaching manual for the CS5. Didn't even know the program existed prior to purchasing the manual (thanks Kaplan! LOL)
Hoping one of you gurus can help me out and one day I'll be able to repay that favor to someone else :-)
Thanks so much,

Thank you Mylenium.
I just looked on eHow and Indesign is merely a way to compose brochures, booklets, and ebooks, it's not important as I'd been led to believe. I can buy a new version of Indesign for CS5 as a standalone and it costs roughly $338, which I may do later this year.
It does matter who's to blame in the case of Kaplan and I'm working with my U.S. Senator on that case. Online schools need to be just as accountable for how they treat their students as any other institute of higher learning and/or group that is taking $$ for assistance. The way to change that is through law and better oversight to ensure they meet accreditations and specified educational and regulatory standards.
Sadly CS6 is only available in a downloadable version. It's crazy to know that I'd have to spend $2,700.00 to purchase something that is only in a downloadable format and to know that new computers may be made without CD/DVD drives so that everything can go cloud - meaning anyone would look at my ideas on the cloud end and use them?! But change is inevitable and so be it.
You're helpful in the fact that it might be best to either purchase new versions of specific products I want or upgrades I need as that's more cost effective and the versions would be compatible with the latest technologies. But since circumstances had not allowed me to complete my education (yet), I work in a minimum wage position and will need to save up to get anything old or new
It's nice to know there are good people to respond here and I'll take your advice to heart. Have a great year!!
