<p>books are so expensive! one of my friends books were $600 for four classes.. it's insane</p>
<p>The total in the end for my 3 books was $400.</p>
<p>So far $175...but I'm still waiting for books to be posted for two of my classes.</p>
<p>$313.60 for 14 books.</p>
<p>$300 for books (lots, dunno the number). I bought everything used on either amazon or half.com way discounted, but some classes I was forced to buy mandatory coursepacks for (which weren't sold anywhere else but a few stores near campus). If I bought them all new it'd probably cost me $600 in books, ewww</p>
<p>Media: 150
Communication: 100
Religion: 150
Psychology: 25</p>
<p>So a total of about 425. Ugh, that's not a fun thing to calculate at ALL.</p>
<p>About $150. But that's only because I'm using an older edition for one of my bio classes and I'm not buying the books for 2 of my classes because I talked to my friends and they said it wasn't worth it.</p>
<p>So that's really $150 for 3 classes, which isn't all that bad considering the book for one of those 3 classes was $80 by itself.</p>
<p>$200 - cheaper than last semester.</p>
<p>everything plus tax = 287.54</p>
<p>"everything plus tax"</p>
<p>A good reason to buy online.</p>
<p>I'm reusing most of my expensive textbooks from last semester, and I used half.com, so altogether I spent around 120$ (as contrasted by the 280$ I would have spent at my college bookstore- otherwise known as Barnes and Scam). </p>
<p>I returned 300$ worth of books I bought from them for last semester and they only gave me 90$. Still not happy about that.</p>
<p>About $75. My course reader + textbook for Russian History class cost about $70 total, and for my Macroecon class I bought a book one edition prior the one in the student store for $5, instead of the $120 the new one costs. I lucked out for my math class as it uses the same textbook as I the one last quarter, and a friend let me borrow his textbook for neuroscience.</p>
<p>So this quarter's pretty good with textbooks.</p>
<p>those are just the listed price, the "would be" if i was a freshmen and had bought everything new from the book store. the actual money i spent is about a third of that (library, older editions, used book stores, online, etc.)</p>
<p>Well, I have to swap books for a slight schedule change, so the final number might switch a bit, but:</p>
<p>Around $190 for the 5 regular classes I am taking, all purchased through the bookstore no less.</p>
<p>About $38 including shipping for used copies of the four OOP texts I need for my independent study, ordered through Amazon z-shops.</p>
<p>So probably 1/3 of what it cost last semester.</p>
<p>I was lucky, and I managed to get all of my books for about $60 (3 classes, three books).</p>
<p>approx. 400.</p>
<p>200ish, I bought one book for 20$ less than in store price and I'm using an ebook for this one class because the assigned book is awful (physics).</p>
<p>Three of my classes use books I had already purchased (Discrete mathmatics 2, calculus 2 and Programming 2). For clinical psychology I had to buy a book, got a used one for $35. Probability doesnt need a book and information systems recommends a book but it's not obligated so I didn't buy it.</p>
<p>I hate my college book store. More than I hate Hitler.</p>
<p>If your school uses a custom edition, Does anyone buy the non custom edition to save money? What's the difference? </p>
<p>Last semester I just spend $90 a book that I thought was required but we hardly used it! I'm angry but I think I'll keep it because it'll help out later in life (Technical Communications). This semester, maybe $200.</p>
