I’m not sure how many EMUTalk.org readers are students (I sense more faculty, staff, and administrators around here), nor am I vetting the accuracy of these ideas, but Lifehacker is one of my favorite blogs, and this advice in “The Complete Guide to Saving Money on Textbooks” seems useful to me.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, sitedad, there are a number of former student readers/commenters/former posters… lol.
For undergrad, I’d just recommend not buying any books. I can’t recall any class where students had to actually read in order to do well on exams, since professors taught you what was in the books during class.
Now that I am in law school, it’s a completely different story. I have to get all of the books, since I am expected to know what I’ve read before coming to class, since we don’t really talk about what was in the book other than cases, and I have to buy brand new ones, so that another’s highlighting doesn’t exist (that really makes it hard to understand the material if I can’t do the highlighting). Definitely a different approach.
