How much are you expecting to spend on your textbooks?

I'm curious. When I received my orientation package they told us that are books will be a minumum of $600..... . I hope that we'll use them all.

I wish my $540 dollars would go for the whole 5 semesters. But, it only covers semester #1. A lot of these books will be used later though. We will add more books every semester.

And did you notice -- that they must charge by the pound?? Those suckers are heavy! Better get one of those old-lady wheelie things to cart them around (I AM a nearly old lady, so I can say that) I think that it's just a cunning scheme to "pump you up" so you won't have trouble heaving the patients around.

Good luck to all.

i hope my program has the best books around because they are very expensive. from aug. to april my books are 1150, and from may to july, who knows probably 600. must be some kind of racket going on , maybe mafia!

well i guess 30% off at the uniform shop might make up for some of it, but i don't think so.

They estimate our total book cost will be around $1000. But, almost half of that is for the first semester alone.

Thank goodness for financial aid.

We have a list of required books which will run about 400 for 1st semester. Then there is a list of 15 reccomonded books that I have not added up but roughly another $800...what are we made of money???
