Rather than shelling out money on Netflix or Hulu Plus, rent DVDs of movies and TV shows from the library.
"We used to have really shitty internet, so we couldn't really stream or download movies & no one wants to constantly be buying DVDs, so I used to [borrow] DVDs from my uni's library. They had this massive collection, like thousands, and they were all free :)" — Submitted by moniques4b138ac76.
"I used the library to borrow movies and TV shows for free instead of paying the monthly fee for Netflix." — Submitted by Julie Ricci, Facebook.

Borrow required textbooks from the school or public library.
"I always checked to see if professors put their textbooks on reserve in the school library or if they were available in the public library... I only had to buy about 1/5 of the books but was still able to do all the required reading." — Submitted by sarahh43c616308.
"Get your required books through the library. If your library doesn't have the book, use the consortium system to order it from another library! Some classes only use books for a few weeks!" — Submitted by Addison Mercer, Facebook.

Find an e-book or scan library reserve copies of your readings and print pages if needed.
"My school library kept most textbooks available for short, in-library checkout periods. I would scan them all onto a USB. I could also usually find slightly older versions of the textbook which could be borrowed for 3 months and were essentially the same as the current version. Saved me $400+ each semester. — Submitted by specialk813.
"Before you buy a textbook or even go to the library, do a quick search to see if there's a pdf of it online already! Also check if your library has an e-copy of the book. Even if your teacher doesn't let you use a computer in class you can print out the pages you need each session!" — Submitted by samlinm.
