I was an English major (granted, that's a B.S. in English with a Computer Programming track).

I had one semester where I spent _zero_ on books. Nada. Every book I needed was in the campus library, so I checked each one out in turn and voila! Extra pizza money.

One time, I had a $60 CSC book that I was in no mood to purchase. Luckily, someone dropped a departmental WolfCopy card in one of the cafeterias -- no names, no identifying properties that'd let me return it to its owner, but a sick number of copying-machine credits.

One evening of heavy toner usage later, I got to return the original book for a full refund, no questions asked...
