How much do you have to spend on textbooks? (1 Viewer)

[sinophile]

Ive paid nothing so far. Go to the library early and borrow all your prescribed textbooks, then extend the lease for half a year online.

1,500 bucks so far. but i guess they come in handy for decoration in my practice later on.

 

[Shadowdude]

That's true. All those books on your shelves... make you look cool and awesome =P

^ Yes.

Anyways, if I was to buy mine for first semester from UNSW's Bookshop thing - $403.98.

The best advice I can give is to go on textbook exchange and try to find them second hand. You'll probably pay like $200 maximum.

If I get them from Co-op, then it's over $400. Can get them online for much cheaper.

Thank God for the Book Depository.

I don't buy my textbooks unless i absolutely have to.

My readers and textbooks can easily cost over 800 a year.

 

[NewiJapper]

but the textbooks for 1001A have not been listed.. Just interested to see how much reading Im in for over the next semester haha

http://www.coop-bookshop.com.au/bookshop/action/DataSubjSelect Search there

For LAWS1001A we need
1. Australian Guide to Legal Citation (MULR)
2. Intro78 Legal System value pack (Nemes&Coss, Hall&Macken)
3. Connecting with Law 2E & Prac Legal Skills 3E value pack (Sanson&Hyams)

and probs a law dictionary thrown in there. I dont think I'll get the recommended "surviving law" book.

In my first year I spent $15 on a course reader and that was all. I'm sincerely hoping that no textbooks will be involved in my course ever.

First semester I had to buy brand new because they had re-done all the units and changed the prescribed textbooks now I sell them and buy mine second hand. Last year i was even able to do clean swaps with people having done units I was doing and vice versa. I manage to sell/swap most of my textbooks on here in the first and second week of uni.

I spend next to nothing selling my books and buying mine second hand too.

Using the unsw bookshop website it looks like i pay up to $1600 for commerce/law. Assuming that they are all brand new aswell, can anyone post some links of sites where we can buy them cheaper online?

Oh sweetie. He's trying to assert his homosexual superiority over you Aqua. I wouldn't take that.

FYI not all courses have your required textbooks up yet.
