<Just graduated.
I probably spent about 400-600 dollars total on school books. Pretty cheap, compared to a more standard college, where enough textbooks for a semester can run you that much.
I bought the vast majority of the readings in the first two years.
I switched to getting about 50% of my books at the library or free open source e-books in the second two years.
Many (~50% of what I bought) were bought used in bookstore or on amazon.
You do not have to buy as many books as I did. You probably shouldn't, but definitely get your own copy of the things you might really like, and I suggest getting a personal copy of the following: Herodotus, the Iliad, Plutarch, Epictetus, Euclid, and I really like this copy of the collected works of Aristotle. http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Aristotle-Modern-Library-Classics/dp/0375757996/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1369118955&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=aristotle
Also, after your first year, check the common rooms at the end of the year when everyone is moving out. Many manuals will be left there, and the older editions typically differ only in pagination.
Have fun. It's a wonderful place.
