how much did you dish out on college books?

<p>910 dollars. and they are only lasting me one semester. EECK. i am not going shopping for the next couple of years. </p>

<p>how much did u spend on ur books? any tips for saving money?</p>

<p>$40; I kid you not.</p>

<p>Probably around $250 for 5 books.</p>

<p>$100 was a rip off on a used calc book they I need to get my money back for on Amazon. </p>

<p>I didn’t have to buy any books though, they’re all easy to find in .pdf online for free. Buy them used on amazon, take care of them, and sell them when you’re done and you wont lose more than $10 a semester.</p>

<p>About $900…but about $750 of it was on books that I need this semester, next semester and fall semester next year…so not that much if you think about it per semester.</p>

<p>$0</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m awesome like that. </p>

<p>My tip for saving money on books is not buying them.</p>

<p>brrr… $300ish? I still need to get a workbook if the bookstore ever gets it in. There goes another $50.</p>

<p>about $250</p>

<p>About 400 dollars</p>

<p>Probably less than $100 per quarter</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Did you buy them from the school textbook store? lol</p>

<p>$188! </p>

<p>As opposed to $430 at the school bookstore. Don’t buy from the school store. They don’t care about us -_-</p>

<p>$575</p>

<p>That includes not having to buy a book that I’ve had for a 3 class sequence.</p>

<p>Only saving grace is one of the books I get to use for next semester too!</p>

<p>Oh yeah…and they were all used too.</p>

<p>800 dollars. Not joking, I bought most of my textbooks on amazon.com. At my school bookstore they were more expensive.</p>

<p>$50.</p>

<p>I already had one of my books, and I just didn’t buy the others. I rented my history book from a bookstore nearby. Our bookstore didn’t even mention the option of renting and happily let me spend $100 on the one book, so I returned it and got the book at the other store instead :)</p>

<p>For the others I just didn’t get the books. A couple of classes didn’t need textbooks, and for the others the instructor’s didn’t seem too concerned about having the textbooks. I really hope you people spending $800+ waited until after the first day of class to buy the books because more often then not it seems like professors either a.) don’t care about textbooks or b.) don’t mind you getting an earlier edition or c.) won’t make you buy all the books on the list or even require a different book.</p>

<p>I might go to amazon and search for one of the other books, but I think it was fairly cheap there, maybe $30 at the most.</p>

<p>0 last semester I think… I had mostly animation studio classes and then I didn’t buy books for my film critique classes… We needed a magazine for one of my visual effects class but my friend just let me borrow her online edition that came with her subscription.
I never spent too much on books since most of my classes don’t really have txt books… at most it was like 100?</p>

<p>1048.39 it was alot</p>

<p>Estimated $1,090 from bookstore, got mine for about $250. May be less since I returned a few.</p>

<p>ooucch. does anyone know if half price bookstore sells used college textbooks?</p>

<p>$110 for one quarter of books - 3 lectures, 2 seminars. includes ‘study guides’ that came with the books… would be an extra $200 at least at the university bookstore…</p>

<p>half.com is wonderful.</p>

<p>^good tip thanks… i will remember that iA</p>

<p>300 something…
half.com sucks, and university bookstores are a no brain
used books, international editions, abebooks.com, ebay.com, and amazon.com
but of course total cost will be more like around $50 as I resell the books</p>
