I know I'm in the same boat as everyone else in school right now, but textbook prices are INSANE. I'm a psychology major, and every one of my books is at least $150... for a used copy! And forget selling the books back after the semester is over! A $180 textbook I bought last semester will only get me $50 back, and a book I bought for $120 is only being bought back for $10. Last year, I was only offered $1 for a book that I spent $90 on because they were "overstocked", even though the book was still being used next semester and they were still selling it for $90! Also, my tuition has increased by 13% in the past year. My school (UNCW) prides itself on having very affordable in-state tuition... which is now total BS! They have also required mandatory insurance for every student. Luckily I am under my parents' insurance plan, but my boyfriend has been supporting himself since he was 15 and honestly cannot afford health insurance. Now they take hundreds of dollars from him each semester, or else he can't attend. We also have to drive an extra 20 minutes to class because the apartments near campus are way too much for us to afford. I have severe anxiety problems and am unable to get a job, let alone get through my classes, and all of this stress from school is not helping. The worst part is, I'll probably be unemployed when I graduate anyways because I have little experience and we have such a high unemployment rate. It's times like these I wish I never went to college.
