Just curious who had to spend the most on textbooks this semester. :(

Mine cost $780.11 for five classes worth of texts. How did you pan out.

Nothing.

We don't use textbooks in my career.
Though, the materials we use...



fuck you all

Hm... probably about $150, including shipping. I rarely buy things I can't find for $10 or less on Amazon. Mooching is the way to go :P



None.

Just Here For The Pie

Heh, I remember one semester not having enough cash to buy the text book for my Psychology class.
Every time I went to class I just took power notes, and wrote every word that came out of the teacher's mouth

Needless to say, I passed the class with a B letter grade.



None.

I spent a grand total of $0.00 for school supplies this school year. Everything I got was either leftovers from last year, or I "found" it on the ground.

I spent absolutely nothing. All the material I need is given to us on lactures and found in our library.

That didn't work for me. :\ two of them were written by my professor, and two of them were the newest edition, about the same price on Amazon as they were in the bookstore.

$150

And my professors are now telling me they are optional...

It really depends on the size of your class - this happens to me from time to time but I usually get away with borrowing/using roommate's/people down the hall/library copies. But if it's a small class you're stuck.

I got a good deal. $35 for my calculus book. I didn't buy any of the other "Required" books though, textbooks are a scam.

Pretty much all my classes are small now that I'm UD. Also I got a commuter school...so no roommates or down the hall options for me.

 it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

 Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
