That's wonderful! Yes, it is expensive, no doubt (we put 3 through college). One thing that does help is if she can find out early what books she'll be needing and if you can buy them off of half.com or somewhere like that (MUCH cheaper than the campus bookstore even for used books). Also, resell them on half.com as well, will make her more than the bookstore again. 
Congrats again, I know you're all thrilled and relieved.
