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?
an arm + a leg
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. Good Luck!How much do books cost per semester in college?
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

When am i supposed to buy books for college?
I am starting next week and havent bought my books yet. Would i get in trouble if i went in the first day without them?When am i supposed to buy books for college?
I'm a senior in college and i have learned that if the professor has not made some kind of announcement through the schools website or through email then books are not necessary to get by the first day of class. i usually get my books within the first week though. the longer you put off buying your books the further behind you get in the readings that are required and those readings can really pile up against you.
i guess from a Prof's standpoint it would be ideal to get your books before class, but from a student's stand point you can get it whenever you want. The Prof is not going to call you out in front of the entire class demanding reason for why you don't have your book.
some Prof's want you to bring your book to class everyday. this is when they might get a little mad if you don't have your books yet. other times they don't need you to bring your book to class, but they would like to discuss the reading assigned for that day and a lot of classes require participation in the discussion.
As long as you eventually get your books, everthing should be fine
You will be okay for the 1st class but will be in trouble from the 2nd class onwards. So go ahead you probably have less than a week to get you books.
Look up used book stores around your school/college. They usually have good deals.When am i supposed to buy books for college?
It has been a few year but I do not think I ever used my book the first day. I always had it with me though. I recomend getting them now. The teacher may say... Open your book and you would feel pretty unhappy if you didn't have it. Good luck school is FUn
No most people won't have them. I ordered my books online during the first week of classes so I'd have them during the 2nd and 3rd weeks.When am i supposed to buy books for college?
no, but ur going to miss out on the readings 4 the first dayjeopardy game virtual earth

You shouldn't buy your books too early because if you drop the class, you want to be able to return the books and get your money back. You can save a lot of money by buying them online, but you'll only have between 7 and 30 days to return a book, depending on the site. So just make sure you time it right and you check out the return policies.
What I usually do is wait until classes start and I know which classes I'm taking. Then I buy my books online. While I'm waiting for my books, I buy them from the bookstore as well. When I get my books in the mail, I return the ones I got from the bookstore (just make sure to note when the last day to return books is! It's usually only about 2 weeks from the time classes start).

What are some tips on reading college level books in a certain amount of time??? Please help!?
Hey there.
Well, I am taking an AP World History course here at my high school. I have to read 30 pages by tomorrow. It doesn't sound like much, but the book is HUGE, and the letters are tiny.
Any way to speed things up? I've heard of skimming through, but I don't know how to do that!
Please, time is of the essence! What are some tips on reading college level books in a certain amount of time??? Please help!?
I always speed read things like that---- It takes a little practice though
Try skimming a page really quick---and see if you can articulate any facts you just read-----if not go back in and find them---and keep doing that.

Both of these books are nonfiction but very interesting. Freshman Year by Rebekah Nathan is about a woman who goes back to school to see how our generation differs from hers. Pretty funny. Admission by Jean Hanff Korelitz reveals the world of the admission board of an Ivy League school. Very enlightening.

Well, not long ago Time magazine published an article where they interviewed 125 authors and asked them what the best novel in the world was and produced a list, so I would say read one of these:
1.Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
2.Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
3.War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4.Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
5.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
6.Hamlet by William Shakespeare
7.The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald
8.In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
9.The Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
10.Middlemarch by George Eliot
Right now I'm reading Anna Karenina and it is really good so far.
I think the big fat books are good-The ones you avoided when you were younger thinking you won't understand anything
well...try them and suit yourself to a challenge and overcome boredom reading themWhat are some interesting college level books I should read?

Hey, great question. Don't listen to people like Hung %26amp; Linda though - it's obviously too much for their minds to grasp that some people actually enjoy literature of it's own accord, and not because they're trying to become "a millionaire"~
I really enjoyed The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, and the person who suggested 10 books above had some really great suggestions. :)

Is there much difference when college text books come out with new editions?
I'm taking a political science class and the book that is required is $120 dollars at the school bookstore I found a girl who is selling the same book for 20 dollars. The book store's book is the 10th edition and the used book that I want to buy is 8th edition would their be much of a difference in the material text?Is there much difference when college text books come out with new editions?
There could be a great difference. As new editions come out, certain things will be added or changed inside the book. For example, I'm taking Biological Anthropology right now in university, and my professor said that Chapter 13 will be vastly different in the older versions of the text, because obviously as scientists discover new information they must include it in the new editions. (You could always inquire from your prof. or T.A.)Is there much difference when college text books come out with new editions?
There might be new things added to it, topics may be reorganized. Bring her to the bookstore with you so you can compare the book she's selling to the one at the bookstore just to be sure that not much has changed.

Usually the changes are in the homework questions at the end of each chapter. There's a pretty big difference between 8th and 10th, though -- I wouldn't risk it, it has updates from the 2006 elections. Look for it on Amazon or TextbooksRus or other similar websites -- even eBay -- you'll be able to find it cheaper than in the school bookstore. I saw one new listing for around $70, including shipping.
It can be extremely varied, especially in a course like political science. I know it's painful, but it's probably better to by the book from the bookstore. If she's selling it that cheap, it's probably outdated anyway.Is there much difference when college text books come out with new editions?
you should ask your professor if its okay. chapters might be different but most of the information should be about the same.
The new version appears to have a review of the 2006 election. the older version was published in 2004. Probably this will make a difference.
Try Amazon.com. They have a lot of books, used and new, in the $70 range.

Do first generation minorities kids born in the US get their college books paid for?
if you are the first generation of your family born in the United States do your college books get paid for by the governmentDo first generation minorities kids born in the US get their college books paid for?
No, not automatically. but there are alot of scholarship opportunities for first generation minority students. Try looking on some scholarship search websites. Also, i know that Sallie Mae specifically offers a 1st gen scholarship right now, so go visit their website.
nopeDo first generation minorities kids born in the US get their college books paid for?
try pell graants
I never heard of that. Perhaps there is a community organization that funds that from there own pocket. I know I used to live in a city where the Korean association was very active in their community. They would give loans or grants to Korean families for a variety of reasons.Do first generation minorities kids born in the US get their college books paid for?
I hope not. I already have to pay for my kids books I don't want to pay for everyone else's books too. The government doesn't actually foot the bill for all that. The money I pay in taxes does. If I don't have to buy so many things for so many other people then maybe I could buy something for ME and MY FAMILY.
I don't know about that but there are plenty of scholarships for first generation students. The scholarships may cover books.

Where an I sell my college books?
I have a stack of textbooks that piled up on me, since I already took the classes I won't need them anymore... Where can I see them? I tried craigslist no one calls :( how does amazon work?Where an I sell my college books?
Ebay :)
You can get a quote on this website http://eaglesaver.com Then print a free shipping label at check out and use to ship your books to this company. As soon as your order arrives they will pay you with check or by PayPal. They pay fast and they are a better business bureau member.Where an I sell my college books?
Try the college bookstore. They buy back books. But only if they are the most recent edition. If your books are a few years old, a new edition is probably out, and nobody will buy them. Use Amazon to check for the most recent edition.
I use chegg dot com or you can call local bookstores in your area. I heard amazon dot com,
unsure if they give u a check. They may only give u credit to use on the site.
Good luck.Where an I sell my college books?
Try a local Barns N Noble, Im 90% positive that they buy college textbooks.
Ebay :)
You can get a quote on this website http://eaglesaver.com Then print a free shipping label at check out and use to ship your books to this company. As soon as your order arrives they will pay you with check or by PayPal. They pay fast and they are a better business bureau member.Where an I sell my college books?

When should I buy my books for college?
I will be a freshman in the fall semester, and I was wondering whether I should buy my books early or wait until I get the syllabus from the professor? I don't really know what books I need either, but I do have my schedule made and there was a bookstore that said they could give me my books if i showed them my schedule. I've asked alot of different people and they all had different answers so i'm still not sure what to do. Please help!When should I buy my books for college?
Take your schedule to the bookstore, they will help you figure out what books you need.
As far as get them now or later. I would say get them now. As a freshman there are going to be a lot of people taking the same classes as you, so they could run out of a book and have to order it. Also, you have a better chance of getting used books (less money) if you go early. Most bookstores will allow you to return books for a refund up to the second week of class. So if a professor tells you that you don't need the book, or you need a different one you can return the one you bought.
You also may want to consider going to the bookstore, finding out what books you need and buying them online. This will be harder to return, but you will save more money.
WAIT FOR THE syllabus from the professor please!!!When should I buy my books for college?
Buy them early, believe me they sell out quickly. Most college bookstores have a list of the required books you need too.
I've always found it useful to wait until the first day of class, after you get your syllabus. once you do, sometimes professors will either scrap books or tell you where you can borrow the books from the school library and save you some extra bucks. since you'll be starting college soon, you'll need all the money you can.When should I buy my books for college?
You should buy them as soon as you can so you can get what you need before there is no more left! Go to the bookstore that knows what to do!
See if you can order them from barnes and noble for cheaper. College bookstores are notoriously overpriced.
What I do is wait until after the first week of classes to buy books. A lot of professors don't even use the books, so it's just a waste of money to buy them (depends on the class, of course). After the first week, you'll know which classes you'll need the book. Also, something else you can do is get a study partner and split the cost of the book for the class.
Wait for the syllabus.
Get them online if you can. College bookstores are a racket.
Ifyou buy arly you have a better chance of getting used books. Much better deal.
contact all proffessors prior to class starting and get a list. Go to the store buy all the books that are used and appear to have actual applicable information towards your class, some books arent needed or are just filled with nothing. do your self a favor and get them early, used books can save you alot and so can amazon,ebay, etc. hope that helps.
I usually go to the bookstore (if I'm on campus) and see how much money I will need. You won't need your books on the first day of class, but if you want you can go ahead and buy them. But just a hint, down the road from the college I attend there is a bookstore that buys books from students and sells them cheaper than the college bookstore. You may want to check and see if there is one near your college.
Depends on the class. For the generals that everyone takes, but it online from half.com or something; you'll get real cheap and will avoid the price gouging bookstore. When you start to take some more specific courses, wait until the first day of class, (don't worry, you usually don't get any kind of weird assignments for a while) and see if the professor drops or adds books to what you need. It will save you a lot of money; personal experience. But go ahead and buy it online if you think you'll reference it again, especially if it has to do with your major or something you're interested in.
wait till you get the syllabus.. maybe for soem classes books will be recommended but not required..and always the cheapest way is to buy books from students who are a year ahead of you and already took the class. hang out in the department that the course belongs to, you should find ads about book sales.
enjoy college!
I'd wait it out. Some professors don't necessarily require you to buy all the books. Plus, other books may be on reserve at the school library. And you might have some last minute schedule changes.
Gosh I hate buying books. You buy them early and the instructor changes the books or requests an additional one which the bookstore doesn't carry. You buy them late, well in most cases you can't because the bookstore runs out. It's a hassle either way. I don't know about your school, but in my school the instructors had their own personal websites where they have the syllabuses for the classes they teach on the website. You might want to check that. I usually try to buy them early though, because when the bookstore runs out, it might take a while for them to receive the new shipment. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I'm trying to buy college books for online courses. 10 points for best effective answer!?
I'm doing online college courses and since I've moved out of the US, it's harder for me to get my books. Are there any resourceful online sites that sell new or used Ebooks? Please help! Thank you.I'm trying to buy college books for online courses. 10 points for best effective answer!?
AMAZON.COM would be a good source as would Barnes and Noble.
I would suggest using GreenTextbooks.org
Save Money, Save The Planet
GreenTextbooks.org specializes in the recycling of textbooks, DVDs, CDs. Buying used textbooks not only saves you money, but cuts down on greenhouse gases caused by the manufacturing of new http://www.GreenTextbooks.org
Try Amazon; I'm not sure about Ebooks but I know they sell hardcopy used textbooks.
Have you tried to do a search online for these books? I know that my son's textbooks are available online for free. And many universities in the US have huge online libraries. Use the online library your school is affiliated with as many have licensing agreements with academic journals, publishing companies, etc. If your school doesn't have an affiliation with a library I would be wary of their credentials.
abebooks.com, they not only sell some of the cheapest books but when you decide to sell the book back you simply enter the books info and get a price quote, you drop the book off at any postal place in a PRE-PAID packaging(abebooks pay for the shipping), Ebooks are competely electronic and is basicly an online book so you can't sell back or buy used Ebooks.
BUY USED OR INTERNATIONAL EDITIONSI'm trying to buy college books for online courses. 10 points for best effective answer!?

Post flyers throughout campus and/or check with professors during the new quarter/semester to see if the same books are being used. If so, then you can offer them for sale to new students at the beginning of the course. However, you should keep the books.
