I got a bill of 345 for one chem book, one chem lab book, one geography book, one econ book, econ lecture notes (less than 10 bucks for that one).

Its teh fastest i have spent so much money.. i was actually shocked to hear the sticker price... i was about to ask if there was an error, but turns out nope.. most books were 80-90 bucks ...

I spent about $400 on some psych books. One of my less painful semesters. It was much worse back in my computer engineering days.

I went through my whole senior year without buying a book...I think I was supposed to buy like 8 of them total. Everything I was supposed to read or needed to figure out I found on the internet and occassionally borrowed a friend's book.
