I am a brat when it comes to textbooks. While many of my science major friends spill out five to seven hundred dollars every semester, I continually whine about my meager $250.
I finally figured out that they labeled Spring Semester as Winter [Jan 2011] on my University's bookstore web-page. All of my books were posted awhile ago, but I'm happy to have the lists now. I'm already procrastinating on buying them, though.
My biology book was priced around $140 new, $90 for a rental. I found it on Ebay's Half.com for just under 60 bucks. I bought that one, basically because science textbooks scare me. I want that one out of the way. Then the game gets a bit trickier.
My lit 100 class has five books assigned. Total, they end up being fifty bucks. I really don't mind spending this cash, but it's last on my list since they're the least expensive.
Political Science has just one book, $40. It will probably be the next on my list to buy.
Writing 102 has two books assigned, but one of them is just a handbook I had to buy for writing 101. The second book can be rented for $43, or bought for $60. I'll rent it when I get to Illinois.
Finally, I have Speech. Speech is kind of confusing. I can rent it directly from Barnes and Noble for thirty dollars, or get it on my Nook as a rental for fifty. I mean, I'm leaning towards the physical rental, but I could use my bn giftcards to get the Nook version. Debating.
Total price: $240
