Is there an appropriate place on CC to discuss some of the uglier aspects of buying required college textbooks? I searched and found several discussions in individual school boards but this is a bigger issue. And it’s not only a parents thing (although I am one). And I’d rather not have it go into the cafe, where it seems that people rant about anything and everything (of course, I guess this issue could also be considered a rant).
Suggestions?
Hello misterbill,
Thank you for your question. Only two options come to mind, one of which is the cafe you mentioned:
[College</a> Confidential Cafe - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-confidential-cafe/]College”>College Confidential Cafe - College Confidential Forums)
[College</a> Life - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-life/]College”>College Life - College Confidential Forums)
College Life might sound like a stretch, but buying textbooks really is part of the college experience and should fit here.
Thanks again for asking!
