Books and materials are chosen by the
professor so book costs are largely dictated by the mandates of the
professors who order the books. In other words the professor chooses which
books to assign and order for the campus bookstore.
Ask just how much of the text you will need to read, before buying the
book. If its just a few chapters, you can borrow the book from the
library, rather than buy it.
Ask about the previous edition. In some cases, students can use an earlier
edition of the book--bought cheaply used-- because its not substantially
different fromt he current edition. Students should ask their professor,
first to make sure that the book revisions were not substantial.
