The first week of college always sounds fun and relaxing, until you look through all of your syllabi and realize how many textbooks you have to buy. The biggest surprise? One textbook might end up costing you $200! I had no idea how to go about buying textbooks my first semester in college, and ended up dropping several hundred dollars at the campus bookstore.
