Residence required a couple of passport-style photos in addition to their paperwork. Wasn't really an issue getting them. The place I went looked like a well-established all-purpose photography type place. They took me right away and had them developed inside twenty minutes. It was kind of funny, though, because I saw that they had, like... a LOT of passport photos waiting for pickup. Also, despite their impressive interior, the exterior of the store's main advertisement was for passport photos. And it's not like this is the only place that does passport photos, either. There were at least two other places almost next door to this place that did them.
It all kind of gives the impression that doing passport photos is quite a lucrative business. Since they aren't exactly expensive, it makes one think that there is lots of public demand for these photos. But a passport is good for five years, so I really don't see how this is so...
Well, I've needed passport photos taken for my passport, and then again specifically for my trip to Mali, and now for Residence. I guess there is a number of reasons you might need photos in this style other than for the base passport.
I finally got my course list, and the list of textbooks I'll need for the upcoming September, along with their cost. The price total is $559.25 >:(
That hurts, but I knew it would be pricy. I had no real idea of how much it cost, and while this is something on the steep side, I accounted for worse costs, so it's not like this'll sink me.
