• The Price of Tuition and Books

    "Well, my husband and i split our $1200 dollars. My $600.00 went to my daughter's college summer school. My husband spent his. It seems that books for college students keep getting more and more outrageous in price. We want our kids to be educated but the price of books! Everyone is looking to make a buck and they hit the ones trying to improve their education!!! I just don't understand, this is such a deterrent for most because not everyone can afford $600-??? for just books and tuition. Are our kids being punished for wanting to improve themselves??? Bottom line, our country is so wasteful in knocking down buildings because there out dated-who cares! Give the money to our kids that want to learn and be educated and maybe be our leaders for the future!!! "

  • You could always check sites like half.com or amazon...even craigslist or eBay for bargains on textbooks. Just a little thought for future semesters.

  • Heya, I know the pain of textbooks. Like the person above me, REALLY try ebay. I got a $250 bio book for $2.25 with free shipping on ebay. Another thing is go for a older edition. If they want 5th edition, get the 4th. Almost always exact or so slight change doesn't matter, and about $100 cheaper.

    Never ever shop at the bookstore unless you have to. Have her email teachers for a what book she needs and start shopping early. It might take a while but it is totally worth it.

  • Has your adult daughter complained to her professors and college about the high cost of books? Has she made them aware of the pain? Have her fellow students done the same? Will this have more affect on the subject then complaining here?

  • HOW COME YOU ENDED UP HELPING OUT YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOUR HUSBAND NOT? THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT - WHAT ABOUT IF EACH OF YOU SPENT 300 AND THEN EACH OF YOU WOULD HAVE HAD 300 TO ENJOY YOURSELVES? YOUR HUSBAND IS VERY SELFISH. GET RID OF HIM!

  • Are any of these below your husband or child? If so contact the state of Texas comptroller to claim your funds. They are free to claim and can help pay for your daughters' books. Books are steep. My degree is in Criminal Justice and cost me about 42 grand to get and I remember when 3 books came to $700 and I was like wow, saltines for this month for food. Good luck.
