The other kick in the balls is that we're actually using the "premium" content, so you could go ahead and buy a used book, but you'll have to shell out the total cost of the book for the online code anyway.

The really bizarre thing is that the school bookstore was actually cheaper for both of the books I had to buy this semester than Amazon. Back when I was in community college they wanted me to take a number before I could even enter the bookstore, which I found out when a rent-a-cop yelled at me. So rather than wait around for 3 hours just to get inside, I went home, ordered everything on Amazon, one-day'd it to myself, and took a nap. Even with the one-day shipping on 4 or 5 books I still ended up saving something like $50. I kind of lucked out this semester. One of my classes is a continuation of another class so we're using the same book. Another doesn't have a book.

Yeah my bookstore was like that too at the beginning of the semester, you had to schedule an appointment to go in. I just used Amazon or whatever the predecessor website was that you could order schoolbooks from. gently caress you college bookstore, suck my dick from the back.

my gfs nephew from china stays with us for school. his parents pay the school $30k a year for him to go there. the school does not provide textbooks. they also do not give you a list of what books you need until after school has already started.

If any presidential candidate wants to tackle college reform they should deal with the ridiculous poo poo publishers do. The online code bullshit. The updated editions with different problems so you are never quite on the same page as the prof. For graduate school my wife is renting her books from Amazon. Pretty cheap that way. When I was finishing my degree some professors were making custom editions with McGraw hill. Basically you pick and choose what content you want and in what order it goes. That way you can't find a used copy because it's always the first edition. Such scummy bullshit

I've gone on a hell of a streak with being able to find text books online or super cheap using abebooks.com My arcgis professor told me about that site. India has the loving jam on low cost textbooks.

My ArcGIS professors never made me buy schoolbooks, they would just scan the relevant sections from the library copy and host it on the classroom website.

So I'm sitting in the library annex 10 minutes ago about to leave to go to class. Some not right looking in the head old lady walks through, looks at the "alarm will sound" sticker on the back door, seems to process it, then goes through anyway. Gets all startled by the alarm, and locks herself out. My enlisted instincts kick in and I quickly get up and leave because I've got places to be, and don't feel like sticking around to explain what happened. I heard her banging on the door to be let in as I was walking away.
