The dorm refrigerators, extensive wardrobes, and computer gear that fill a college student's life are a lot more expensive than the crayons, lunchboxes, and filler paper from elementary school. If you're looking to save money this school year while shooting to the top of your class, don't overlook free and open source software.

To succeed at college you need to organize both your school life and your personal one. As anyone who has been through it can tell you, when your social life is out of control your grades can suffer -- and vice versa. But with so many papers, class assignments, get-togethers, and things to do, how do you stay on top of it all?

In Going Back to School with Open Source, we show you everything you need to save money, save time, turn in great work, and have a great time with free and open source software.
