Possibly. Campus bookstores are still a ripoff, though beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 08:23:56 PM
It might be that Amazon et al aren't good either, but campus bookstores are still terrible.

Honestly, my senior year I mostly just made use of the library. Half of my classes were electives that didn't need a textbook, one was a class where we barely used the textbook, and for the other two I just went to the library or online if I needed something.


You get bitter realllllllll fast if you pay 70 bucks for a hardcover textbook that you end up using twice in the semester. And then get 5-10 dollars reselling it.
I amuse myself.
