Yeah, out-of-state tuition here at IU Law is 37K per year. I would've stayed at Kansas for law school if I didn't get a full-tuition scholarship.

I took a class over the summer so I'm only in 12 hours this semester. I'm pretty stoked about it.

I typically averaged 13-14 credit hours but they were mostly all Engineering courses. Tried to have T/R free if possible.

Books generally cost between $300-500 per semester but it was covered by the wonderful lottery players of the state of Florida.

Once I was in grad school and had to pay it myself I'd buy the books in paperback for cheap from china.

Good lawd. And I thought books were expensive when I was in college.

Yeah, its rediculous. You spend 700 on books and get back 200.

One of her books was well over 200.

I really hate that part, some books i actually keep cause they are worthless to sell back. I try to post if someone wants to by them for half the value. Seems like almost every semester i have to buy a brand new book, ****ing college

That is why I like it when the professor will give you the ISBN, then you go out on amazon or ebay and purchase them for pennies on the dollar!

Pisses me off that they will sell it for 200, buy it back for 75 then sell the damn thing again for 175.

The college I go to lets you rent most textbooks.

I'm intrigued by the General Biology and Lab in the Middle Ages course. Do you experiment with whether witches float?

Reerun_KC · 08-18-2008, 11:56 AM

I am in for 13 hours this fall.... I have to take English 202, Undergrade Research Project, Meterology and Oceanography, plus one cheesy flying class (which I already am rated for)...

After this semester, I have one Math class, biology and Flight Environment to take and I GRAD!!!!

Two more Semesters and I am DONE!!!!!

I'm also wanting to take Cisco security classes as well....just too much shit on my plate. GF also wants to go back to school after graduating MU in '05, wants to get an MBA or something, but likely to try law school as well

Sounds like shes a keeper. I wish I could take more classes but 16 is the most I've ever taken. History classes with these professors are fairly easy as long as you take notes in class and study for the tests.

Yeah, she has a ton of ambition and backs it up, i wish i wasn't so damn lazy i might be like her. She currently makes more dough than me, i could see her being a CEO or something in the future. I wish classes were that easy, i take a shit ton of notes on cpu and accounting but its so damn BORING....it's hard for me to stay interested. I've wanted to do CPU related work just because the money is there. I hope someday i can get a job related to sports or movies with my cpu background. My gf say's i should try to get on with ESPN (not in front of the camera) but behind the scenes shit.

What is your major? History i assume?

I typically don't require books for many of my courses.

Unfortunately, I'm an English major. In addition to the textbooks, we have to buy all manner of supplemental novels, books of poetry, etc.

I save hundreds and hundreds of dollars by utilizing MOBIUS, MO's collegiate inter-library loan system. I just check out the majority of textbooks and supplemental books.
