For any college kids, or anyone with a .edu email to help you save money

So now that im a freshmen i just bought all my books and saved probably 400 dollars on amazon. id suggest anyone buying college books to use chegg or amazon as its much cheaper than buying from your college's bookstore. I have a referral link i am going to post but what it does is, if you have a .edu email address it will give you 6 months of free amazon student which is like prime. and ontop of that when your amazon student runs out in 6 months it says you can get amazon prime at half the cost (yes i am trying to get you to use my referral link as it gives me 5 dollars per person but it also basically gets you free prime for 6 months.) So if you havent done this yet and want free amazon student, i would prefer you use my recuitment link but you can also just go on amazon and sign up if you dont feel like getting me 5 dollars haha

I'll probably end up signing up, thanks.
Unfortunately like 3 of my books are specific to my college and I can't find them online. Sigh.

Ughhh I hate that shit so much!
The worst is when a teacher uses their own book, ten never references it at all. Like.. That's for making me waste $200 on your shitty book! -_-

Wtf book is $1200???!?!?!? For what class? Grad-level med/psychiatry/dev books are nowhere near that expensive.

Never buy the books until class starts.

^This. Prof will always tell you what you actually need.

Lol I have 20 credits this semester and a lot of big text books for Psychology classes, plus a class with 12 books. o_O Also. Private School so just guessing that my colleges bookstore prices them even higher.

Ah, gotcha. Thought you were saying you had one single book at $1200. Sadly, that number doesn't surprise me anymore considering your course load, psych books can be a bitch. I've had a few classes that the prof wrote the book so when you go to resell it:



What's your focus in psych? Is that your major? College bookstores are bullshit lol
