I thought this year my textbooks would be cheap since I already have my math book from last year, and I thought I had my physics book from last year. That left 2 classes, so 2-3 books, 赨 max. Turns out I did need a new physics book, along with a lab book, and also 4 books for compsci and e mech. The e mech books were over 赨 by themselves, used!. The comsci books were also close to 赨. My physics books are going to end up being around 贄 total, so that makes a grand total of around 躔! This, for a 'easy' year in which I'm only taking 4 classes and 1 of them I already had the book!

How many bookstores are on your campus? If there's just one then you really get screwed over because the University has to take their cut from sales. Add in a few independent stores and prices start to drop a little more. Then there's the whole area of buying your books online. I've never done that, but I have heard good things from my friends who have.

if there is highlighting in it then I'll be even more pissed because I really don't like highlighters. they are extremely disctracting and cause me to not remember anything I read.

can't u like get them off on lend from the library or just get some freinds from ur course together and chip in to share some books. good incentive to work then cos ur around people who can help each other with coursework and stuff

EDIT: Also just rip off the magnetic tag and nick the book if the library has more than one copy

That sucks... luckily in High School I don't have to buy my books because we get them from school. But I guess next year at university I'll spend hundreds of dollars on books... why did I have to choose to study something with "a lot of books"?

Photocopying sounds pretty good. Or sharing a book with your roommate.
