I have a cousin who’s now a college freshman. Her mom was complaining about the tuition fee and on other miscellaneous fees. Good thing though, she doesn’t have to buy most of her college books. The only ones she needs to buy are those of the work books and the ones used for laboratory.
I remember my college days. My mom had the same problem as her mom with regards to the tuition so I don’t have new books too. I think I only had new books during the first semester of my freshman year. Good thing I became a member of an organization in school during that semester and the members of the org especially those from the higher level, like the sophomores, were willing to sell their old books. So for the second semester, I told my mom not to worry anymore for I found some students that will sell their old books, and these books are in mint condition.
It was really a relief on my mom’s part because at least it will lessen the expenses. We all know the importance of books to students and not having one is really a challenge especially during exams. Thankfully, I did not have to worry on not having books during those times. I should probably share this story to my cousin and hope that this serves as her guide to buying text books. :)
