I've got a 16MB ATI Rage128 from about six years ago. If you can mod it to a 9600 Radeon or newer, I'll give you a book allowance too.

Why would you need such a fast card? College students don't need anything more than a integrated graphics chip, not unless they plan to game or if their major is engineering related.

What I like about college is that I was from the bottom of the economic ladder and now in college that's no more. Primarily cause of financial aid and I work crazy hours to make crazy money (didn't have that luxury as much back at home). Funny thing though, now in my school I it the stereotype of my school being full of overachievers.

Ways to make college cheaper:
Get as many books from the library, buy a month in advance and purchase online. Go for everything 'used' but good condition. When selling them back, sell them online (you pretty much break even).

Also, buy a copying machine. Make copies of those small books that cost like $60 but are only like 120 pages. (I bought the Canon Personal copier PC 428 for $80 (plus $20 shipping) brand new!

Become an elected member in a club that you're into. This way during the summer you can use their club room as a storage facility.

Spend smart, never pay retail, and get a job.

So for i've mentioned how to get free storage, by the end of the year only spend $50 (max) on books, and have a copying machine that will pay in itself.

It's also cool how most of the stores around campus offers great prices. Like my dad always says, only in America.:D

Ah college, I love college, living at home right now and it's like a 5 minute drive from here. No other siblings living with me either :D

Yep, you setup your own schedule and you don't have to kill yourself studying (only on midterm and final exams).

Hey where is a good place online to sell your books? I've always thought about selling them on ebay but never did.

Haha, check my sig:(

College is great though, I do what I want pretty much. It's tough going home with the parents though, since you're not used to having rules and crap:mad:

Books are so retarded, I spent 100 bucks for hardcover book, and we will never get through it all! Hell I have a book on Windows 2k PRO! What a waste.:(

I too would like to know where to buy/sell books online.

Best place that I would say is amazon.com and half.ebay.com

The only class I remember not reading the entire book for was an English class. I'm a junior now, and every book i've bought the prof. has required me to read the whole thing....
