at least you're not a science major.

my average semester bill for books has been between $350 and $400. This is the first semester where I haven't had to buy books, largely because I'm repeating a class I failed the first time (and thus have the book, hee!) and am taking a class that uses a book from a previous requirement.

Textbooks are the biggest scam in the US, in my opinion.

Hugely. Pay upwards of $60 each for books that can only be used once, and will be outdated by next term.
