I think they forgot the lube
 

$693.03 for 3 books at the UL Bookstore!! Chicken, you need to start writing. They have got to be banking!

No way!

500 at Mcneese for just 3 classes.... I am applying for scholarships next semester!!!!

Textbooks at university stores are such a racket. You are much better off buying through Amazon or other online textbook stores. By the time you buy a book at the bookstore and get money back for them at the end of the semester, you can buy from Amazon for cheaper. You can then sell the books back to Amazon.

Buying textbooks from a bookstore is asking to pay too much. Go to dealoz.com and search there. I would get all my books from there for a third of the price

My wife goes to southeastern and somehow gets hers second hand. They are def. a rip off!

My semester started a week before the normal classes even opened soo i really didnt have a choice. needed the books like yesterday when i got em.

last semester rented 2 books from chegg.com for under 100 bucks and got 2 books on the ipad for about 80 bucks so from now on i will never purchase another book rental for me

Yep, I just spent 200 for 2 classes at ull, and I still have to buy books for 3 more classes tomorrow.

UL use to have Follet's which I thought was a little cheaper but they closed. I got burnt buying online once so I quit. Almost all of the upper level accounting books are the loose leaf type where you have to buy a binder and put the loose sheets in. Bookstore won't buy these back! They're usually torn up by the end of the semester.

$212 for one stupid Chemistry book at McNeese I shelled out this morning... I'll never need this book again either.

Check out eBay guys.

I believe my daughter uses cheepbooks.com

When I was at LSU buying books from the bookstore was for the damn birds!

I need to find a HS math teacher to get a a Geometry book. Never thought I would need it, but I do!

I use to buy old editions for really expensive books. There use to be a website that said what books had major changes, and which ones had minor changes and the old version was acceptable, but I can't seem to find it. One book I bought the edition change was they added a single "Info" page at the beginning and changed the pages number up. No other changes could be found.

A buddy of mine takes all the same classes. We were thinking of just sharing books; but prof. said that if you do not have your own book, don't bother coming to class. Also, if you have a xerox copy of the chapter, you need to bring supporting doocuments to show that you actually purchased the book!!! CRAZY

His brother must own the book store

ding ding ding!!!

That teacher more than likely took part in editing that book and wants to make sure people buy it.

Or the teacher wrote it, ran into a few of them before.

$2300 for one class at university of pheonix on-line. But hey atleast they threw the books in for free

Still on scholarship:smokin:

I did have my truck broke into one year and my books stolen...wasn't fun to replace 700 in books.

All my buddies and myself bought iPads. Then just split the 40 bucks for online books. Came out ahead in one semester

And then when you go to sell them back at the end of the year, you don't get squat.

I bought a USED book last semester for $200. When I went to sell it back, they offered me $5! I kept the damn thing for a fire starter!

so true pay a few extra bucks for the ipad but it will pay for its self in savings on books

that is some bs you sell it to them for 5 and they will sell it back to someone else for another 150-200 what a rip off

And there is a huge amount of online files that are very helpful :)

Just to make you sick.....FYI

I think the most I paid for a book while in college at USL [UL] was about $ 27. Most semester I spent about $ 75 on books buying mostly used books for less than 1/2 price.
