Holy textbook prices...

Yeah Textbook prices are such a scam by the colleges, even the community colleges.
Amazon.com is great for textbook selling/buying though. Unless your school is the only one to use a certain "special edition" math books, retards. Even a ten year old college textbook should have the same info as a new one.

Yea i found my math book online for like half of what the school wants. Everything else is about the same as anywhere online. Im only going to comm. college for now and I know its a scam when i need a book titled "Sociology - A Brief Introduction, Naugatuck Valley Community College Edition" give me a ******* break.

rent the ones you don't give a crap about. that way you are guaranteed the savings right off the bat and aren't relying on the bookstore to buy back the book at end of the semester, which often doesn't happen due to new releases, obsolesence, etc.
i once spent over $700 for 12 hours worth of books.

yea i remember how overpriced the books were for my classes too. being a pharmacology/toxicology major sucked cause all the science books were nice and expensive... i only bought books the first 2 years though. the other 2 i didnt even bother since i never read them nor did i need to to pass the classes. 2 years out and i miss college.. i wanna go back.
