Or buy used.

 

Or see your professor before class even begins and convince him that the latest edition multi-hundred dollar textbook is not needed for the class. The previous edition which now costs 1/19th the price of the latest edition will suffice.

Not sure it'll work with my MIS professor, he's one of the authors. Welp. 

 

Experiencing MIS 4th Canadian Edition if you're interested.

Look back at my time in college I now realize how much money is eaten and how so few recognize it. If you can't make strong arguments for yourself and stand by them with conviction, then honestly I don't believe you should even be in college. Go to a trade school instead.
