That's right, two posts in one day!

Textbooks are outrageously expensive. I start Illinois Benedictine University in a few weeks, and am enrolled in four classes.

I decided to try to get my books today. I have a partial scholarship, and a good amount in loans. I assumed that would be more than enough to cover tuition and leave plenty for books.


I had to jump through hoops today to find out how I get my loans to pay for books: book vouchers. Great. But... I found out that the maximum book vouchers amount is $500.

$500? What about the books for my other three classes?

Argh.
