Why don’t they give away books to US students? I had to pay $200 for my son’t Calculus I book.
I understand what you’re saying about the cost of college, but your comment sounded almost like a liberal wanting free stuff....
I paid that much for my daughter’s statistics book.
Know exactly how you feel...I recently (AUG) paid $1000 for my granddaughter's books...
If the lower-level math books like calculus I cost $300 to rent (the latest scam) or $500 to buy, for her freshman year, one of my bookcases with 58 musty old math books must be worth a fortune...
It isn't like you can go to Amazon and buy at a reasonable cost. The university restricts the sales and rentals of the books for their own benefit!
Check out Chegg.com.
It’s a textbook rental company. Far cheaper than buying and getting $.05 on the dollar to return.
That’s what my kid did and saved a ton.
My daughter is completing her degree online. They don’t make them buy books. Everything is online. Somebody in the educational cabal is starting to get it.
