There's probably at least a few things you can do to lessen the cost of textbooks.

Any suggestions? I already bought them. I saved 93 bucks by buying the ones I could not at the university book store. However, it still came to a total of $486.

Use Amazon and Half.com - alot of books are used and a heck of a lot cheaper. I used it for two books for my Composition class this semester, I used Amazon and I found two books that'd be a combined 160 dollars at my school's store. I got them both in good condition, used for 86 dollars on Amazon.

Half the price, all online. ;)

Lucky me,they gave me 100 ringgit to buy anything.
Altough 100 ringgit probably isn't worth much in US.

A Ringgit is about a third of a US Dollar, so 100 Ringgit would be about 33 dollars.

It's amazing how much College Textbooks cost. I remember a story a few months back, I think I talked about it on here - There's an ART Textbook with NO pictures worth about $200. Ridiculous. (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/st ... 50042.html)

Yeah, just about - a PLN is about the same in USD as a Ringgit.
