Default anyone else bought books for school yet?

i went up to the campus today to buy books, and of course the place was packed and it took forever. well, i already had 2 of the books i needed(or so i thought) but it seems they are using a new version of both so i'm SOL. anyways, i find all 4 books i need and finally get to the counter to check out. she rings up all 4 books and its $322.04 i guess cuz all 4 were new/un-used books but damn. doesn't seem like i've paid that much for books ever before. <font color="red">COLLEGE<!--color--></font>

Hell yeah, man college texts are exspensive. I have to remember that stuff though.

Those were the days though. Have fun and make sure you stay committed to your classes.

Nope, I just graduated. Ahhhh...
I kept most of my books, the ones I didn't really want to keep I would trade with people who needed the book or just sell it to them. I still spent a grip though College book prices

need 8 hours for my associates and then on to UNT for the bach. i would have sold back a few that i already had from last year but they started using new ones so i can't sell'em. and i had two books from my cousin but they aren't any good either now.

That is a lot money for 4 books. I remember my 1st semester in college (fall 94'). Books were so much cheaper. I remember that semester I tood 5 classes and the total for kooks was about 150 but some were used.

Nope, I haven't bought mine yet. I have to go today to buy my books. I work fulltime during the day and can only go at night. The cost of my books shouldn't be close to what you paid Slowverado but I know that I will definitely spend over $100.

i was sittin there today in my last class for the day and this hot blonde next to me asked where i got my book for the class. i said here on campus and she proceded to tell me about this place in fort worth to get used books and new ones. she got all the same ones i had and 1 extra and only paid like 175....i was pissed. the plus side is that there are tons of hotties there. but it sucks going to school close to home again cuz there's tons of people i know there.
