Textbooks
It's crazy how in high school textbooks are free and until you are in college paying over five-hundred dollars for five textbooks. This semester I have twelve units, three classes and one lab. I got very lucky and paid under hundred dollars for for all my books. In my english class, I didn't have to get a textbook but a book for us to read, which only costed ten dollars on amazon. It was called This I Believe Two. For my Group Communication class, I rented the textbook on amazon for twenty dollars. We also had to buy a novel called The Glass Castle, which was another ten dollars. In my calculus one class, my teacher recommended the textbook with calculus one through three if you are planning to become a math major or that your major requires multiple calculus classes. The library at the school did not have the textbook for calculus one through three until October. So I tried to look on chegg but I wasn't able to find the right textbook. Then I was looking on amazon for twenty minutes and I finally found it. The best part about it was that I bought the calculus one through three textbook for thirty five dollars. This will also save me money for two other semesters since I am a math major and for the calculus lab we didn't have to buy any textbook. Many freshman's have told me that they have spent two-hundred dollars for just one textbook. Even some of my friends have spent eight-hundred dollars for all of their textbooks and a access code.
I agree with you, I personally have yet to pay over $50 for a textbook but many have said they can get crazy expensive I just hope I never run into that issue.
