My Personal Favorite Little College Scam Perpetuated By Professors Is That They Decide To Write College Text Books And Then Make Them A Requirement For Purchase For Their Courses. These College Text Books Are Awful, And Are Never Used, But The Professor Is Most Likely Making Money Off Of Each Sale. Another Favorite Is That The Professors Make Some Workbook A Requirement For A Class, So You Immediately Think That You Will Use It Because It Isnt Just Reading. Well, You Are Most Likely Wrong, And Again You Will Never Use The Book. And Forget Trying To Sell These College Text Books Back At The End Of The Semester. You Will Make Back About Three Dollars For Every One Hundred You Spent, And That Is If You Are Lucky And The Professors Have Decided To Use The Same Book Again The Next Semester.If You Are Looking To Save A Little Money When Purchasing College Text Books, One Of The Best Options Is To Purchase Used Books. This Gets A Little Tricky If You Tend To Buy Your Books The Day Before Class Starts Because The Book Store Will Sell Out Of Used Books Quickly. If You Can, Make It To The Book Store At Least A Week Before Class Starts And You Should Be Fine. Used College Text Books Tend To Sell For About 23 Of The Price Of A Brand New Book, Which Can Quickly Add Up. The Cheapest Way To Get Books Is To Buy Directly From Someone Who Had The Same Class The Semester Before You, And You Can Feel Better Knowing That Your Money Is Financing Some Poor College Students Friday Night Partying Rather Than Lining The College Book Stores Pocket.
