Question how much $$$ did you spend on books for the semester?

I spent $290.31

I bought 18 books.....almost all were used... except for 2 or 3.
Idyll's of the King was sold out, I'll have to buy that next week.. so around $300...

You bought 18 books for less than $300? And you're bitching?

One semester I bought three books

...

for $740.

This semester I didn't uy any of the books which got recommended. Last semester I brought 3 I think and it cost me $250+ roughly. I'm pretty sure it works a lot differently in the States though

They were design books, so yes, they featured illustrations.

guys do you think this is complete bullshit?

http://www.eng.vt.edu/academics/comp_require.php

I mean a TABLET? who the fuck needs that in class. I was required to have a laptop with certain specs but I think I only brought it to class like three times. Fuck I mean your computer classes are generally in computer labs...?


and holy fuck the "engineering software bundle" you have to purchase from the school no longer contains autocad. what nazis (autodesk)! it was cool cause you paid 300 bucks and got microsoft office and autocad and matlab (barf) and if a new version of the software comes out while you are in school you get that for free.

that's totally ridiculous. at my school we don't even have a computer requirement. any class that requires we use a computer is just taken in a classroom with computers. it's a great perk of going to a private school

no we do too but they also have the computer requirements because I guess they just want to be proactive about it - is it VERY convenient to have a laptop and they recommend shit that will last you for your entire college career. most other majors here are also required to have laptops--all majors are required to have computers. the campus is wired with insane wireless internet which is free and also converted some old mall into a large with about 500-600 macintosh computers. its called the math emporium and everyone despises the place becuase thats where you go to study or take online tests.

and then there's always this:

nearly everyone at my school has a computer too, mostly laptops, but i'd never heard of anyone being specifically required to have one, especially if the student is left to cover the cost of the laptop on top of tuition
