There's also a great site called SwapTree.com where people can trade books, CDs and DVDS with each other for free. All you have to pay for is shipping. I only wish that I had known about this while in college. From an eco-friendly standpoint, you should also recycle and reuse as many things as you can. You can use old CDS as coasters or bike reflectors, used coffee grinds are great fertilizer for your plants and old plastic soda bottles can be used as planters!

Rather than focus on saving as a college student (most are not really ready for such a responsibility), it's better to focus on NOT getting into financial trouble. Signing for credit cards to get T-Shirts for example. -Raymond. I can personally attest that as a college student I saved a grand total of one giant goose egg.

Books are extremely expensive. I would buy them used from half.com, amazon.com or another student for less than 25% of what the book store was charging. Also, collect used textbooks that are being thrown away. I had a lot of friends that just threw their books in the garbage. I listed them for sale of half.com and paid for my books for the last 2 years I was in school. I also recommend getting a part time job at the library. You're paid to study...it forced me to study and I received a $40 check every other week (enough for beer and clothes)..... Randall has a great idea! Books are extremely expensive.
