I had that problem too with books. Even worse was that most of my professors used a third(if that)of the testing material from the book. Especially when your buying like 5 books a class.
One more thing. The parking services at my school were 10 times worse than the campus police. They were like geshtapo and the parking fines were nuts. Like whenever your late on a parking meter. Even a minute over its like a 25 dollar fine. I got fined 50 dollars too once(fire lane) when I was unloading my stuff into my campus apartment. That was not cool. I paid though. I think its like 120+ dollars a year to have a annual parking decal at my school. Highway robbery if you ask me.
I remember the problems with the computer lab at school too when people jammed the lab during finals. I was doing a paper and luckily I finished it in time. Because minutes later they closed the lab while people were frantically trying to finish their work. It definitely paid to have your own computer.

You were allowed to use meters?! At LSU you can get some pretty hefty fines for even thinking of parking at a meter if you have a student tag. To park at a meter, you must be a visitor, which means you need a visitor's tag. If you don't have one, if you just park at a meter without any hang tag, you will get a $35 unregistered, and then you'll get probably $20 if your meter goes over. If you keep your hang tag up, you'll get a $10 out of zone fee.
Once, my boyfriend was helping me bring groceries into my apartment, and he was parked by the curb with his flashers on. While we were going inside, a cop came up and started to write a ticket. We came down for another load, and we saw the cop there - he said nothing. He was just going to give my boyfriend a ticket. Finally Josh spoke up and the cop said 'if you don't want this ticket then move."
Parking is terrible at LSU. If you come to campus after 7PM there is no where to park. We have "overflow" lots which are commonly known as "rape lots" because of their lack of safety.
