I've had 150+ classes at this point. Probably 50 books over 3 bills. It's highway robbery.
I usually keep sophomore, junior, and senior-level books though

It was probably around $300. I wasn't pissed about it until the end of the semester when the book store offered to re-buy it for $56.
Be thankful you got that.

North of $300 for a finite mathematics book, looseleaf with holes punched. Not even bound.

I took Organmetallics with Dr. Stanley, circa 2002. He said you can buy the 300 dollar book or buy my notes for 15 bucks (he made no profit, just cost to do it).
He should get an award.

They still use books?
If you want they now usually have the "e-book" available for purchase.
But...
physical book = $300
e-book = $275
They are going to frick you, one way or another, no exceptions.

Yep, been there, done that.
My favorite though was having to spend $40 on a "special" notebook for a lab. Nothing in it, just a fricking single subject notebook that had college ruled lines on one side of the sheets and on the other side it was half-graph/half-blank.

Over $400 for a tax book. Best part is it changes every year so it has no resale value. I think Amazon offered me like 25 bucks for it 3 months later in perfect condition.

Avg. around $250 per book.
But now they get you with online homework registration codes ($100 each).
I easily drop just under $1,000 per semester.

Currently knocking out an English paper at 3am for my professor who is in the Women & Gender Studies Department.
I laughed at this post way too hard
