    The man who initiated the idea of campus bookstores is a ****er.

    I've gotta spend $450 on books.

    One of them is about WEST VIRGINIA COAL MINERS. I'm going into MUSIC EDUCATION. Coal miners love to sing and play the flute, I guess.

    How much is your college ripping YOU off for books this semester?

    My beloved high school is making me buy books that we never use.

    In 2 years, 7 books totaling $250 that we never even brought to class or were told to read. It's like they didn't exist.

    Only in the $200's(Maybe up around $300 after those that didn't have any books picked yet tell us to get one). Not bad at all.

    my sister had to pay 50 bucks a semester to rent all her books, which wouldnt have been good for me as i tended to abuse my books when i would get pissed at them. Me, I had to buy all my books. I usually tried to find my books slightly used, as an engineering book new can range up to 135 bucks, while it being used may only be 85-100. (some engineering books were only 90 new, so you could find em at the low low price of 70!)

    I think the most i ever spent in any one semester was 375 bucks when i had to buy like 7 books total (only like 2 engineering books).

    what sucks even more is when you go and sell them back and oops, they are changing volumes or something. you get all of like $2.50 per book for em then. (sometimes you get lucky).

    About $550, and all of them were used I think.

    I'm in my second quarter of college and I could tell you, always buy used books. You may not be lucky and you'll have to buy them new, but its cheaper.

    Last quarter, I didn't even bother returning the books because they wouldn't give you a fair deal of money. For $65 new book, I probably would've gotten $10. What a rip-off! And two of the three classes I'm taking right now, I've wrote on them, and I'll most likely return my two composition books that my class rarely use.

    West Virginia Coal Miners? Where are you going to college?



    I have a small scholarship this year to pay for some of my books. Fortunately, I only need 4 and I am figuring 300-400 dollars. Assholes.
