School's trying to make bleed the students to death!!! Man...my Economics textbook cost $120 w/o tax, Calculus $160 w/o tax, $90 for history and $60 for nutrition. The cheapest textbook I'd ever gotten was $50. Man! What I do now is to buy these textbooks, since i have 2 weeks to drop classes and return textbooks, I go online to look for cheaper prices, then I return all those textbooks. Dang! You buy a book for $100, when you sell it back to the school, you only get about $30 then the school sells it back for $80 used. One textbook I used to use in University back in Singapore, the school here is selling $95 when back in Singapore, I only bought it for $30. Exact same book. Getting leeched to death. I don't even qualify for financial aid. 
School's a rip off!!!:mad:
