Borrow From The Library
Libraries are a great way to get all the books you need for free - you’ll just have to be careful with your timekeeping as you won’t want to return books late. Most libraries also lend out magazines and music so it’s good for your free time as well as your studying.

Buy Second Hand
Whatever you’ve just started studying, someone else will have just finished. So seeing as they no longer need their text books, they’ll be willing to sell them to you (or maybe even give them to you) for a lot less than the shops. And there’s plenty of second hand book stores too so hunt around for the best prices!

Share With Friends
If you and your friends need the same text books then there’s no point in all of you buying them; just split the cost and then share them. You could either give them backwards and forwards or you could set up some group study sessions - which is also a great way to make friends!
