But for vet school there's a few problems. One, none of our books are cheap. Two, a lot of the books are a really good idea to keep for future reference. After all, there's just no possible way for most people to remember every little detail that is crammed into our skulls over these four years. So the books are always expensive, and the used books are always hard to scrounge up

And in undergrad I had it easy anyways, so I never learned good textbook-hunting skills I had a small academic scholarship with our NCAA Equestrian team, so they took care of my books. If I wanted to keep them, I could buy them back for half price.
