The Torture of Textbook Purchasing
So I've got all but one of my textbooks for the September semester and I have to say - they are bloody expensive! Two of my textbooks cost over $200 a piece while even something so simple as my physical education book was $99. I'm almost certain now that I will end up spending almost as much money on textbooks for a year as I do for tuition. That's just...absurd. The total I have spent on Textbooks so far this semester has been $668.48 and I'm still a medical dictionary short.
All I have to say is that I sympathize with anyone else who has to pay just as much for textbooks. Even buying used textbooks when you can isn't a cheap venture either. But of course me being me, I wanted all new textbooks so I knew the CD's that come with them are in perfect condition as well as there being no marks at all inside. I plan on keeping these textbooks for a long time...especially after spending as much as I have.
