Yes, there are exchange square in the campas, where student can post an advertisement to sell and buy used items. They are quite cheap. The school also organize trips, which is cheap too.

Personal spending habits
Telephone costs went down because i shared the phone with my roommates. Local calls are for free and i had my family call me, so i had no expenses for long distance calls. The apartment i lived in was the cheapest in Las Cruces, and the amount i pay at the moment in Rotterdam does not even come close to what i paid in the US. My social life was a little more costly. You want to experience the most when you are abroad, so i took full advantage of my opportunities.

I was lucky to get an atletic scholarship, but what I have heard was that many scholarship are not used because people just do not apply. I would recommend putting a little effort in filling out the paperwork, because it could result in a partial scholarship.
