Text books are the worst! We had a pretty good system going with a small class size, everyone shared digital copies on an online drive. You can sometimes find pdf copies available for a fee, if everyone pitches in they’re much easier to share. Or create your own through the sacrifice of time, take one out of the library(most school libraries have the text books you need) and scan it so you have a mediocre quality digital copy. Worked for plenty in the past!

I remember I wasn’t allowed to bring a television to my apartment by my mom. She’s so strict, but I was glad it helped me focus on study and save, though it was hard back then as the Internet was not that improved.

In reply to Money Beagle. I did that too when I went to college a few years ago. That definitely helps save money!

Credit card I guess. I survived college without it, so I guess every freshman and college student do not need it.

It’s been a long time, but I remember my roommate and I were assigned to each other and they sent us each other’s contact info, so we were able to touch base and try to avoid buying duplicate items.

When DS went down to the US for his first year, they ended up with lots of duplicates (4 kids in a tiny dorm). No contact info with each other prior so we couldn’t preplan. The best reality check was the cost of textbooks. DS was in shock and learned quickly to get used AND share the cost with his roommate, who was taking the same class.
