MONEY FREAKING MONEY MONEY MONEY! I hate it. Lately i need it and lately of course i have none of it. I need books!!! I've failed three quizzes in different classes because i don't have money to buy books! I've tried the libraries... friends and the prof even... NO LUCK! seriously!!! Why are books so expensive... really all my books cost like 300 dollars... rounding up of course haha but not by much. I just thank God that i got my lit book for free!!! which is why it's not more... but AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'm just so helpless right now. haha:-5

oh this is not good, when you cannot rely on libraries.

books are overly expensive, they make them like that because you have to have them!

any chance of a student loan?

did you know they were this expensive? 300.00 for one book?

insane this is.

- can you borrow one from someone else?

Maybe ask the dean from a previous year student.

that's for all my books. haha one book that i got for free from a friend is priced at 175 dollars. And i've tried borrowing but finding someone with the books is impossible. Seriously i haven't been this frustrated in so long. And my parent's can't help because they have four of us in college!

Usually there's a used book store on campus or near by.??

or is there another student to buddy up with?

Terrible prices - look into the used book idea??

I've heard Amazon is a good place to locate books.

QS has a good idea, I tell my college students to get their books used from amazon, you can usually get them from under $10 each.
