Do they ever sit and think to them selves that perhaps the reason why some students are part-time are because they don't have the money to afford an additional class or two with hundreds of dollars of textbooks to go with them. I will say though, textbooks are obviously ridiculously expensive BUT I was able to find the answer to that problem. Its called http://www.bigwords.com. When I first used it, I was blown away by its easiness. But basically it searches for all the online textbook retailers and rental sites. So if you're searching for a textbook, rather than going to ebay and searching for hours hoping you're finding the best price, bigwords.com does all of that for you. I think you'd appreciate it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500305475244995377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181387788187392541.post-25418808687496055812010-03-20T02:14:16.002-04:002010-03-20T02:14:16.002-04:00I paid a fortune for school.

I had to pay almost double for each half credit because I was charged a clinical fee even though my free labour in the clinic brought in revenue for the university. It makes me stabby too. And don't even get me started on the thousands of dollars I've paid in useless textbooks. I love the 'you can't resell it because we've changed the edition for next year.' Then they tell you that in edition 27, there are some spelling corrections and an addition of a half page to page 1192. :| <br /><br />I definitely think any discount would be a good thing, but where I went to school, part time and full time students paid the same. I paid around 5000 a semester for school while most people paid about 3000.Britthttp://xoxb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
