Oh, then there's the textbooks I bought but never had to use for most classes. Such a sham.

I bought a book once for some BS Gen Ed and never took it out of the plastic wrap and the fucking bookstore tried to only give me half my money back when I tried to return it. I got to the point Junior year where I quit buying books and just used the ones they had on hand at the library. Also, I'd say once I got into the classes for my actual degree almost every class I took I didn't have to buy textbooks. All my professors used cheap generic books to teach what we needed to know. Then again I was an Information Systems major and not engineering based. Also, I'm pretty Sure Bernie's plan for free college was only for 2 year programs or some shit? Not a Bernie supporter, but I think if he would have ran without being an open socialist he would have had a lot more support.
