I still have some of mine too - you never know when you might want to sit down and catch up on Organic chemistry and Non-Euclidean Geometry.

Is that like a scholarship thing or everyone gets their book rentals covered?

That is a pretty good deal considering the amount of $ I had to put down to even rent a book where I went.

It's for everyone. I'm assuming we already paid for it, though.

E) the bookstore wouldn't buy it back and I totally forgot about selling it online until it was too outdated

People must be begging you to join their book clubs!

I rented two of my textbooks as ebooks from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Three books I had to get through the school. One I bought from Amazon because I'm evidently going to need it all four years. The nice thing is I can sell back the ones I got through school.

That happened to me once or twice.

I'm really gonna miss the 3,000lbs manual for Microsoft Office that hasn't moved since I brought it home, though.

That happened to me once or twice.

I loved it when they'd change the textbook requirement as soon as I finished the class.

 

[Nemo14]

At least some of my texts were used for multiple semesters though - Chemistry used the same one for 2 semesters, as did Physics; Calc used the same text for 3 semesters, but we had an additional text third semester as well. I don't miss any of that!

My favorite is when they have two textbooks for one class, and you use one textbook once and then you're done. Yay!

That happened to me at least once every semester.

Humanities clasess were infamous for that.

That's why my suitemates and I would purchase one for the whole suite and we'd just take turns with it. You just have to know ahead of time, but that's where upperclassmen are a big help.

Humanities clasess were infamous for that.

Most of my business and journalism classes were the culprits for me.

My English professor also told us we needed to go buy a book (it was only 12 dollars, but still) because we would use it a few times during the class. She never even mentioned it.

she must collect royalties.

 

[Lucky]

she must collect royalties.

I had a professor for two classes. He assigned one of his own books in each class, and both times he wrote a check to every student for his royalties. It was only a few dollars, but he wanted to avoid any perception that he was profiting from his choice of books.
