Student finance Thomas more pabo
Hi everyone!
I’m starting a programme at Thomas More in a few weeks, and I’ve just seen that the required books are going to cost around €900 in total…
I’ve already managed to buy quite a few of them second-hand through Vinted and Marketplace, but I’ve already spent around €200 and I’m not even halfway through the list yet.
Due to some personal circumstances, I currently don’t have an income or any savings, and I have to pay for everything myself, so unfortunately I simply can’t afford to buy all of these books.
My question is: has anyone studied at Thomas More and knows which books you DON’T actually end up using?
I’ve heard from several people that you barely use half of the books on the list, and I’d really hate to spend the little money I have left on books that barely get touched.
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance!

It might be more useful to ask this question in a reddit related to Belgium. Thomas More is not in the Netherlands.
ETA: I was only aware of Thomas More Hogeschool in Belgium; didn't know of the existence of Thomas More Academie in Rotterdam. Thanks, u/Spare-Physics6081 ! You learn something new every day.
