As students, we are all excited about the new semester. However, for many students, new beginning means the busy season to buy new clothing, text books, shoes, supplies, fashion items, and cool accessories to survive in the new semester.

In reality, its seems we are hard to survive if we only got a part time job which pays $8/hour and text book costs around $100 to $200 at the same time. It is hard to image how many hours we have to do in order to buy just one text book.

But remember, many offers are international version which means those might not include a hard cover, but the content is absolutely the same. That's why you get great deals.
