<p>I made the mistake of taking a class with 13 books, at an average of $15/book, using the cheapest price I could find from Amazon, half.com and the bookstore.</p>
<p>I seriously considered dropping it because of this, since it’s just a intro gen ed I need to take to graduate this year, and I could take a different one, but damn. I still haven’t purchased two them, since I don’t think I’ll need them (and the library has them on reserve anyway).</p>
<p>All total, $410. Most I’ve ever spent, and double what I usually do. At least some of the books I know I’ll be using next semester, though.</p>
<p>$750 for 4 books and 3 online seminar codes, all from the campus store
I looked on amazon and a few used textbook sites and couldnt find any that looked legitimate for any cheaper. </p>
<p>This semester was unusually high because Im now in higher level courses, my freshman and sophomore years usually put me back about $400 per semester</p>
<p>About $300, and that was from the school bookstore. The key is not to buy all your books brand spankin’ new. Half of mine were used, I rented a few, and the others (like my Japanese language stuff) were best bought new. </p>
<p>I checked around and didn’t see any significant price difference in my books from the bookstore to Amazon (among other places). Oh well. Must’ve just been the books. I’ll check around again next semester and see if Amazon has better deals.</p>
<p>I can’t believe some of you spent over $1,000…that’s ridiculous! Did you need that many books or could you seriously not find any better deals?!</p>
<p>I am going to pay about $500. I am buying the lit books new because I would only save $13 otherwise and I will buy a mix of new and used for the rest of my classes.</p>
<p>I now have to pay about $300. A hallmate and I are taking the same class at different times. Long story short, we are both going to buy the book together and share it. It works out because we see eachother during “breaks” and we have the same study sessions.</p>
