I went there in the Cambrian Period , the 1960s, and was so ripped off by the off-campus book store , Robert's, that got away for decades with charging obscene prices,,,and at end of term gave you a pittance for a clean, sometimes unopened textbook. I spent $1000/yr back then on textbooks !! ( Hey!, it was a Greek-hell-on-wheels party school.)
Now there is a 'non-profit' textbook seller-buyer biz, i wonder who owns ,at the Student Union. But no student-run,e-book textbook rental for laptops ,like at some real "Universities" and colleges. Yikes!! Talk about a behind the times, backward, antiquated , over-rated, over priced education !! And look at all the superrich and famous that have this college as their alma mater,,,Says a lot about Capitalism and 'what screwed me will screw you and profit me' mentality, doesn't it ? Think of the "college education" cost savings if students got together to help each other with a textbook ebook co-op,,,and let Robert's and the outrageous on-campus "non-profit" book seller rot,,,,
