My college created a dreamspark account for me, and from there i can download Windows 8 Pro. Is this is the RTM release or the full retail release that will be public released next month?

If it's a MSDNAA account then it is RTM. I am on it now. Whether you update now or later is up to you. It's the same thing.

It's RTM. Up to you if you want to install it now or later.

Yes, it is the RTM version. Enjoy. Please note, because it is an MSDN AA license, you might not be able to do in place upgrades from Windows 7.
