Personal comments
Surprises: Books are really expensive. Savings: 1. When traveling with plane: Book way ahead, flights are almost always cheaper then and use websites like www.expedia.com, 2. Try to get second hand books, 3. Bank: Bank of America: Free students account, only big cost there (so beware): withdrawal costs 2$ every time, so try to withdrawal money as often as possible from bank facility itself (no cost).
