Starting out your first term as an international student can be difficult. There’s having to settle into a completely new environment, in some cases adjusting to a new style of learning and a diverse set of people you’ve never been exposed to before. Outside of that, there’s the financial aspect — paying your bills, buying new furniture and student supplies, and the expenses that come with having a social life. The prospect of beginning your first class — and being told that you need to purchase a list of expensive textbooks — only adds to that. If only there was a way to find free textbooks online.
