I'm guestimating around $200. That is IF I buy all the text books. I am not sure that I'll have to. I love to buy used books, but honestly, I'll wait til the first day of class, read the syllibus and then find out if the text book is manditory. I've also done the cheap route where I'll just go photocopy the book for the necessary readings once I get the syllibus.. Terrible I know, however I cannot afford to be buying books and then not getting jack crap back when you sell them at the end of the semester.
NOT TO MENTION, that all the journalism/communication/pr books are ALWAYS changing so they'll get a whole new book in every year! You buy a new book and the staff doesn't want to use it anymore so they can't buy it back to begin with! URG!
