OH tell me about it! My books also USED this semester were $104, $134 and $85. The $85 and $104 books are not even hardcover and one of them is like 100pages, thats it.
here is my latest.... my school stinks! I just feel like I have completely fallen through the cracks. Last semester I got advised wrong and bought my books, only to realize it ON MY OWN and have to get readvised. Apparently only 1 person is qualified to advise a WHOLE student body ... if thats the case, why is there an advising dept? anyways.... so I went to return the books but because I had already used them I couldn't get the full money back on them. Now this semester, the kid at the book store told me I had the right book for my class so I bought it, read chapter one and highlighted it, and come to find out I have the wrong book. This book cost me $134 USED. Now I have to go to the bookstore today with my book and try to get the money back to buy the right book that is $128 USED if they have any used copies left at all. Because I highlighted it though I might not be able to. I am beyond irritated with this school. Wish me luck today... Im going to NEED it!!!
