you gotta buy online, then sell back to the school at the end of the semester like 99grandprix said. usually works out in your favor.
and i dont know what your *****ing about. i spent over $700 for 4 books last semester and havent looked at the books i need for the upcoming one but i know itll be even worse. but then again, i go to a real college

A real college? Which real college?

Hell, even a lot of bachelors degrees are worthless nowadays. My fiancee has her bachelors in psychology and she can't get a job anywhere. Any sort of secretary or assistant position wants 1year+ experience and a college degree yet still wants to pay $10 an hour...it's ridiculous.

This is my senior year and I have spent about $100 total on my books in the past 4 years. You don't need to buy all of them, so many people buy these expensive books but never even open them.

Half.com and Amazon are your friend if you must buy

Online all the way, I'd say I spend about $100 on average per semester, this semester I got lucky and spent 47 haha. Just have to do your research as to whether or not you need the book. I've emailed profs and had them tell me I honestly won't need it and talk to other students that have taken those classes and whether or not they used the books. I skipped out on 2 this semester.

Even a masters in psychology is worthless.
