How much money for books?

I put in $1500 first semester and it was way too much for me, so I didn’t add any second semester, and will not add any next year. I also found it way cheaper to buy books from half.com, ebay, amazon used, etc; I only really used the bookstore for hard-to-find books, last-minute supplies, and Vandy gear…and I still have $950+ left on my card after the end of freshman year.

I think you’ll be fine with either option;
If you do $500 and find it’s not enough, you can easily add money to the card or order books online with a credit card then pick them up at the bookstore.
If you do $1000 and you don’t use up much of it, just select $0 for second semester; the money will carry over for all four years.
