<p>do we have to buy it at the university store.. can we get them at half price or amazon.. u know save money?</p>
<p>You can buy your books anywhere you want to. Or trade someone else for the books. Or just perpetually borrow someone's book. </p>
<p>Whatever works for you.</p>
<p>You can do whatever you want, just as long as you get the right edition of the book.</p>
<p>I bought through the store first semester, and it cost me about $600. But second semester I didn't have to buy many at all, a couple of my classes just used the same text as last semester, for my writing seminar I had to buy (was able to buy them used at the school store), but the others I was able to either borrow or buy at more than half off from people that had taken the course last semester. I think my total bill this semester was like $120.</p>
