Just out of curiosity: How much does a student in your program spend on books per quarter?

I spent about $200 on this book list, but I bought almost all of the books used on amazon.com. If I bought them all new from the book store it would be closer to $400. And we are on trimesters, so I'm buying books three times per school year instead of two.

It wouldn't be so bad, but I'm not the richest person in the world, so it's a major financial hit every time book ordering comes around.

I bet it is a major financial hit. You might be able to resell some of your books.

(I am the person who asked you about the books.)
