Is it worth saving up for a dive computer?

Suunto Zoop, cheap, reliable and easy to use. Buy from Scubastore.com.

To answer your question: If properly used, a good DC can result in longer NDLs (when compared to using a table).
I'm glad that I have a DC.

Yes, while you're "learning" you can use it to measure depth and time for dive table use and eventually use it for other benefits....

Yes it is. Since you are asking, it is apparent that you know you don't need one because you are already familiar with dive tables. If you can't afford one, you can always dive the tables. Good luck with your budget. They all work and you just need the basics. Enjoy diving.

I've become so accustomed to using a DC I question if I'd dive much if I had to give it up.

It's auto-correct via Tapatalk 2, figure it out.

I think there are still a few Luddite divers running around who may disagree, but I think the overwhelming response you will get is "yes" and I agree with that. That said, you can spend as little (well, nearly) or as much as you want. They all have the same basic function and so as a starving student, get what you can afford. Just don't forget how to use those tables. Computers are great and quite reliable, but when they decide not to be, it is usually in the middle of the big trip and in the middle of a multi-dive day. Happy diving.
