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: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.

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

na didnt make a freshman mistake, emailed all of my teachers and double checked before i bought any of them but ya still found all of mine cheaper on amazon than chegg which is surprising cuz my older brother used a mix of both always but either way saved me a lot of money...
kind of grave digging, bumping this as my first year of college is ending and ill be buying fall books soon, just incase anyone needs any of the info on this thread.
I only bought 1 textbook in college, and that's before I realized I could just (huehuehuehue) download them. I got through college downloading textbooks and viewing them on my phone lol. There's absolutely no need to spend an absurd amount on textbooks. At like $150, a textbook could feed a family of 4 in India for 2 months.
EDIT: dammit I always have something to say on gravedug threads -.-"
Some of the student's (and by that I mean several 100) at my college got together and made a facebook group that's focused around buying and reselling their old books for really cheap prices... I don't know if any other colleges have something like that, but it may be worth looking into
I always (illegally) download all the books tbh. I hate wasting my money on books I'm never ever going to use after I'm done with that respective semester.
Amazon for the win when it comes to college books!!!!
