    If you are lucky you can get a list of required books as soon as you register for classes. Hunt for used books. New books can be $300.00 each. You can get used books for $30.00 or less if you hunt hard. Also use your campus library, most have 1 or 2 copies to loan while in then library. I spent 1 hr a day in the library reading & taking notes last semester for my History class I got an A+ & never bought the book.

    Good luck, study hard
