Back to school is fun for the kids who get to meet their friends again. But for college students who have to prepare for a new term? Not so much. As you prepare to become young adults, you want to afford those books yourself. Those books that cost $200 each, multiple for each class, and you’re attending four classes this semester.
Really? College? You want to prepare young buds who have no experience in earning money to choke out $1000 for books or they can’t graduate? Most of these posts are from the US and it’s really painful to see students struggling because of books cost.
No, I don’t have the money.
Trampling on people’s future with book cost.
“Binder-Ready” edition for $110.
Why do we even need the book?
Hate college.
Very dirty business.
That’s only ink and paper, guys.
Selling like hotcakes, let’s squeeze the money out of these students!
Ah, let me throw my $500 onto fire.
Please, enlighten me, how $277.3 on this book means I’m saving money.
I can sell it myself.
My sociology ‘book’ cost me $200 only for the access code. I can’t get a paperback version.
This anatomy book cost me $240 and it’s only a ream of paper without the binder.
They can’t explain this.
Hideous.
What a nice start of your college.
A book shouldn’t be the requirement.
Printed my own book that almost cost $200 with a total cost of $10.
I was ready.
What’s next, charging delivery at drive-thru?
Could afford to pay for school, but not books, so failing it is.
A huge scam.
Teachers don’t care. The school don’t care.
Just for one class.
Looks like college is a mistake.
Imagine, it costs another $900 just to be able to finish your classes.
Awful business.
Financial aid of $10.
Paid $200 for this book that doesn’t let me copy more than 84 words to make a study guide.
