Starving Over Knowledge

I am 19 years old and I already owe the government money. I bust my tail everyday to get good grades to continue to get scholarships/grants to help  pay for my schooling, yet I still owe the school money. Plus on top of that I still have to pay for my books. For some classes to RENT a book it cost about $150. That just doesnt make any sense what so ever. Days have went by where I wasnt able to eat because I had to choose to either RENT a book or use my money for food for the week. I needed to stay on top of my school work so I can still get scholarships/grants. 

How do they expect us to get ahead when every step I take forward the school pushes me two step back. If its not the amount of units you can take decreasing its the book prices.

We shouldnt have to pay to a dime to RENT a book, it should be for free. I rather for them to put a hold on my account if I dont return the book, than starving for a week over one book that I only had to use about three times during the whole semester.
