Textbooks...

Okay, so I got spoiled in the states with my textbooks. I always bought them used.
I don't have that resource here so I had been paying UMUC's price for new textbooks.

THankfully a friend told me about half.com.
I just ordered my textbooks for next term (well 2 of them) and it saved me right around half the price for each book, and that is brand new, not used! I would have bought used, but the prices were the same.

So if you need textbooks you might check there before paying full price

www.half.com

I will keep that in mind, for sure.

Luckily, my program has all of the readings/materials online so I don't have to buy them.
How sweet is that?

Of course we won't talk about the tuition or the resource fees....
It might have been cheaper to buy the texts!

Too true~ I just got my statement for my student loans.... Ugg. I will have my associate's degree at the end of this term and I am $13,000 in debt for tuitition, books and fees. I just keep reminding myself that it will be worth it in the end.

Re: Textbooks...

I always tried to buy my textbooks on half.com. Of course that only works if the books you need are not a new edition. Ecampus.com is also good.

Re: Textbooks...

hmm... Never heard of that one Pam. Wonder if that website has the books I need for German. Half.com didn't
