How much do books cost per semester in college?

I'm trying to see how much I am going to have to save up this summer, and also plan ahead as to how much I'll need to work in college.



I'm going to UGA in the fall, if anyone is from there that could let me know.



Also, any tips on how I can save on books?How much do books cost per semester in college?

Seriously, at a community college, one semester my books cost more than the tuition for the 3 credit hour class I bought them for. I generally planned for $200-300 as a liberal arts English major. I also took out stafford loans and budgeted books into what I borrowed.



Get the booklist as soom as you can. When you can, y used books, and check bulletin boards (online and in buildings on campus) for other students getting rid of the books you need to buy - make sure it's the edition required for the class. They sometimes get updated between semesters, so last semester's book by the same title can be different. Used books can be 25%-50% cheaper than new books, especially in math and sciences classes, which can get uber pricey. But sometimes you'll have to get new.



Sell the books at the end of the semester that you won't need in the future. Youll probably get better deals selling and buying from other students than campus or indie bookstores. You'll at least make laundry money for a month or fun money for the weekend!How much do books cost per semester in college?
books have all different prices. however, new costs more than used saves. i'd try 2 get a used 1 B4 buying new. if no used 1's r there 4 what u need then u'll have 2 get new. 1 time there was a book drop @ my school %26amp; i saw a book that i could L8r use 4 reference. u may check 2 c if u can have 1 of those if yer allowed. usually ppl drop books they no longer need %26amp; they may B fair game 2 some 1 else in need. i'd check around in yer travels 2 c if there may B a book drop somewhere, which would save u $$$ b/c books r really expensive. this is also y it's so important 2 keep ALL books in excellent cond, ESPECIALLY if u must buy new, so u'll get as much of yer $$$ back as u possible.



if u can get financial aid 2 buy them 4 u, i'd do it. remember tho, if u don't get yer grant fast enough u'll get stuck w/ a cash register surprise; i did. i had 2 temporarily attend class w/o a book til i was able 2 buy what i needed. i was lucky 2 have another student share a book w/ me, which was a real blessing. i can now pay it 4-ward 2 some 1 else who may 1 day need my help.
My books were about $700 for the first semester. These books are so expensive. As soon as you professors put up the list of books you need, then search on barns and noble or amazon or any website that sells used books. Used books are so much cheaper. Make sure you know what your professor wants because I bought books before classes started and we didnt use half of them for one particular class.

Bring a pen and paper to the book store, copy the book info and tell the store clerk to kiss your ***, then go online and order them (www.half.com). When the semester is over, sell them to the book store that you weren't going to buy the books from. A lot of times you will make more money than you spent.



Good Luck!!
generally the cost of books vary per classes. the less classes you take the less amount of books you need. i took 4 classes last semester and all my books were close to 400. its cheaper to look around online for deals then to buy them in the bookstore. also some past students put up fliers of books they r selling
I spent about $300 - $400 per Semester on books new from the campus bookstore. You could go to a local, used bookstore and get the books cheaper from a previous student - but they might have notes inside. Try craigslist.
could be a few hundred dollars..i have my issues with that..but each book can start at 100 bucks..any subject.. math ones are more
first semester cost me $800



second semester cost me $300



depends on the courses your taking and if your buying new or used books
Last semester it cost me $1,200. Most of the expenses came from a computer programming class which I later withdrew
It really depends on the courses you are taking. On average, it's probably about $200-300. Could be more or could be less.
If it is new it will be more

If used cost ,much less
He's lying it's about 1 arm and 2 legs.
some books are $150 and up so I say the total would be $500
for a full time student, i'd say about $500 per semester. buy used, use ebay if you can find em
DEPEND ON THE BOOK AND COLLEGE
OMG YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR OWN BOOK????

ARE YOU SERIOUSE?

OMG UMM
