Yeah. I really hate it when the professors will tell us "oh you need to buy this book. It costs $120+" but then never use it. -_-

Edit:
I wish I had a bank account open for me to put my money in (I'm going to open one soon. have to, check needs to go in before the middle of Sept), I would buy my books for cheap. But, I have a debit open with school to use for my books. Thankfully my books this semester are cheaper than most other semesters. I'll have a lot left on the account (I pay for it with my loans)

Ugh, I hate that. This Spring, I didn't buy 2 books for this one class because the professor didn't have us even use them till the last week of class and even then we didn't do anything much with them. -.- I think one of them we didn't even use.
I think total the 2 books were going close to $70 altogether. The other books I used for the class, barely used them and I got them from the boyfriend

A professor shouldn't be allowed to make you buy more than two books for a class.

Unless they can prove you'll actually use it. Though in most cases, 2 is enough usually

I hate having to buy even two. Unless it's for, like, an anatomy class, because other than that, why would you seriously need three books for a philosophy class? Couldn't you find a book that condensed all the info?

yeah, I don't understand why they would need to have us get so many. I can see if one book is the main text and the other 1 or 2 are supplements that they'll have us read some of for a little project or something. But, that's it.

I got extremely lucky my first semester of college. I took a lit class, and it was just one section above the lit class that made you get seven books. I only had to buy one. Woot woot!

Sweet :)
like I had mentioned before. I got lucky with most of my time in college/university- I had Mike's books since we're the same major and took the same classes. This semester is different- I'm taking classes he didn't ^^" But none of my books are insanely expensive thank goodness

I did one that was
"You know you're in Fredonia when it's below 0 outside and the wind makes it feel like -30 outside and you still have class even though both Fredonia Central and Dunkirk Central are closed."
