LOL what is the difference between buying a book (used if at all possible) and then returning it at the end of the course for a refund? (which was how it worked for every class I took at my college). At least renting is more straightforward since you wouldn't know going in what you'd get back when returning the book.

My daughter's college includes all books/supplies in the tuition. So, the books are all rentals and returned at the end of the semester. I believe she can pay a fee if she wants to keep a book. It's been nice not to have to think about book expenses. She just goes to pick everything up at the start of the semester.[/quote]

Not the PP, but every book I sold back was for a garbage course. Things have changed, my DC has same major I had but purchased almost no books. Professors gave Dropbox links, or kids know how to find a pirated copy. The only time this doesn’t work is canned curriculums w/machine graded problem sets. Can’t always be avoided, but these are today’s garbage courses.[/quote]
