Required and Optional textbooks

Published

OMG! One of my class (fundamental of nursing) has 12 textbooks, 6 required and 6 optional. Do you think I should purchase all the textbooks or only the required textbooks? Too much $$ for only one class! Since I'm going to a private school, tuition is already too much $$ ($16500 per semester)

Thanx in advance!

Go to half.com

You can get really good deals on books at that site.

Yeah like others have said, don't buy the books that are not required. I have taken many a college class and you don't need them.

The college bookstore is the most expensive place to buy books. On-line can be way cheaper, but also consider the off campus alternative book store. Every campus has them. Consider this: I go into the campus bookstore to check the price of the anatomy/physiology book. $129 I think. It blew me away. That was the used price. Then I went to Ross right off my campus, a little bookstore that only sells college texts for my college.... $39! Yup what a difference! So shop around!

Good luck to you :)
