When you start college there are things that you need to get….for your dorm that is. But many kids do not take into account when they first start that the textbooks in the campus bookstore are SO expensive. I spent $500 in just books one year…and they were books that I would never use again. So, it is almost a waste of money in my opinion. Which is why it is nice to be able now to buy your books right online. You can go right to buy.com to find a great selection of books and many of them are ones that you probably need.
