there's probably 191223423353 topics of people bitching about this...
but i f**king get pissed off buying books. i just bought my italian book and it's like 300 pages total and a little paper work book and it cost f**king 196 dollars. WHAT THE HELL. THIS IS BULLSHIT. i have no clue why this book should cost as much as it does. it's not even a big hard cover book. f**k this. so uh, have you bought your books? were you surprised by any of the prices? did your smallest most useless class end up costing you more than your actual major classes? chick in line in front of me, her total cost was like 800+ dollars. i felt worse for her. |

I bought all my textbooks (save for a special publication for my Orgo Lab) on Half.com and saved well over 300 dollars. The books aren't pretty and new but are in great quality. I even bought this really good Orgo workbook that's like 300 pages of practice problems for like 30 dollars when it's retail price is 70 something.
I would've saved more if I had known my very expensive set of Orgo Chem textbook + solution manual is barely used by the professor. |
