i always thought the school text books were a tad expensive $300-400 a year, possibly because i dont buy books. now its like $700 a semester. need a 1k grant from the government asap!
-.-
oh btw, orientation starts tomorrow, so hmmphs. when do i need it by?
-
i never bought my recommended books... u don't really need them and if you do its better to just borrow them as you won't be using it all the time
as for prescribed... u can or u dont... depends how ur using it... maybe just wait until ur first lecture..
-
i got all mine as ebooks from various sources, then print off at officeworks hahah
-
Everyone says wait until classes actually start to buy books, so that's what I'm gonna do.
Oh and, second hand ftw
edit: truetears' idea ftw haha.

What's the rough cost of printing out an entire textbook?
-
i printed off around 2000 pages last time, costed around 130$ in total
-
Wouldn't printing off an entire textbook be like extremely un-practical? Like the pages would get all worn out quickly etc?

All the books?

Hmmm, a 2000 page book would cost around that much too

Nah, if you get them bound with a front a back cover, they are pretty durable and look quite pro as well.
i was in the melb uni bookstore today, and a lot of the stuff they were selling for uni was just 500+ page printoffs that had been bound...

There's this pathetic little thermal physics book at the ANU bookshop. It costs around $130 and has about 300 pages (at most). Sitting right next to it is a 1000+ page chem book worth $120.
It's not about quality, it's about supply and demand.

I never thought of doing this! A bit impractical when some of my books are 600+ pages long though :P Don't they question you if you're printing copyrighted material?
