13. "Don't hate on the SCANTRON. Colleges still use them." In response to Reply # 12
I know this for a fact because when I was working at Mercer University's School of Pharmacy I had to use that Scantron. Try grading test for classes that have 90 students and you will be grateful for that scantron.
I hated that job too.

you got me but even the college bookstore has been gobbled up by amazon and bn.com that's where all these bookstores feed off of anyway
whatever happened to walking down to the SC and copping whatever book that's on the shelf to tide you through a long crisp aired fall weekend? curl up in your XL twin bed with a book and a cup of cocoa and get lost in the story.

21. "LOL some classes have books that can ONLY be bought at school" In response to Reply # 19
i know this because i tried to be slick and buy my cousin's math book for her off Amazon nope nope that $125 book is good or only ONE USE because each book contains a code to access the homework problems online
this was at Stephen F Austin by the way
but yeah, i feel you and until i ran into this problem last year i'd say the same
oh, that math book was written by the professor who taught the course and was the dept chair so basically dude was making $125 per student he had enrolled in his class on top of his salary
and the book was really some bullshit pamphlet he had his assistants xerox using the schools paper/toner

On more than one occasion we happened to find the teacher's edition with the answer book. After my freshmen year I think I spent less then $200 total on all future textbooks.

but im telling you at SFASU you pay $125 for an access code so you can do your homework problems one code is only good for ONE STUDENT so that is the professors hustle making each student for over $125 just to...
you know what, i smell a law suit because that's not fucking right shit, they even had a $200 biololgy/zoology book
28. "Yeah that's some bullshit" In response to Reply # 26
That's a result of the majority of college kids not only realizing how ridiculous the prices of books are at the bookstore but finding an alternate solution and either buying them cheaper from Amazon or using one of the rental book dealers. Schools needed to find a new way to ensure their students are giving them as much money as possible even after paying the outrageous tuition bill.
