Nice, congratulations dude! :D

 

Try to get used books though, will cost you way less.

Ungodly amounts less. Used rental. Glorious. I hate when classes use the online component and it forces you to buy the new version that comes with the pass. I spend an average of like $350 on textbooks for 5 classes.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

Yikes. That's a lot of cash, sheesh. :( I bet there aren't any real differences between the editions, huh?

Not usually. Most professors at my uni operate off of the newer edition since the bookstores never carry older editions but usually older editions are fine. TBH $350 isn't that much compared to the tards who buy all new.

That's what I thought. Insane. -_-

 

True, I've seen someone complain that he had to spend nearly $1000 on textbooks once because they made him buy them all new when he didn't have to. The difference was like three corrections to spelling. :rolleyes:

Find students that took your classes the previous semester and ask if they still need the book. I sold most of my freshman books to incoming freshman for far less than their value but for a few dollars more than I was offered by the book store. Figured I might as well let someone else buy them for a decent price since the bookstore would just turn around and sell it for 90% of its new cost. My chem book was $250 and no book store would buy it because it came with a code for online software. I sold the book for $15 and gave him a link to the software that cost $35.
