And it could be worse. They could be soaring as high as textbooks.

Jfc are textbooks prices even worse than when I was in undergrad? What do things typically cost now? It was awful when I was buying them.

It was 200-300 for me 15 years ago. Worst part is you cannot pirate them because you need the online code that comes with a new book. I recall something dumb happening if you just got it separated from the book.

Yeah some shift the pages a bit so you can’t buy the online portion separately and have it line up with a previous year’s version even though there is almost no difference in content. At least that’s how it was when I went to undergrad, sounds like about the same time you did.

Text book prices are part of the compensation package for University professors. It's no surprise their price has risen, since wages aren't keeping up
