I just want to let all those considering going college the notice that not only do you need to save for your tuition, but for your books also. Yesterday I spent a total of $518.55 on books for six classes. My friend offered to give me the 55 cents to help offset the cost. Helps a little bit, but not much!!

Yeah, they're really expensive. My mom and sister are both taking a computer course at a college. The book was considrably cheap, at only $65, which is, actually, cheap for a college book. My mom knew someone who had taken the class already so she just borrowed the book. My sister had to buy hers.

I go to a private school and I have to pay for my books every year. This year I had to pay about 130 bux.

The best part is at the end of the semester when they offer you like $30 to buy back all those books. That's why I kept 95% of my books from college.

I just spent over $500 on books too. Ahhhh! That's the most I've ever had to spend. I was not prepared for that. It sucks because, like coily said, I won't get anything for them when I try to sell them back. I once bought a book for $120 and the bookstore was going to give me $25 for it. I laughed at them, but now I still have that book and I haven't needed it since. I just refuse to give it to them for almost nothing.
Just had to vent - even though it won't make me any less broke.
