Since I bought most of my textbook used from other students I spend around $200ish. I only bought one textbook from Titles which is my Japanese textbook. Overall, I spend around $350ish on all of them

First year, I spent $700 per term, buying required textbooks.

From then on, I only bought textbooks I absolutely needed (such as French or Math, where assignments come straight from the book). At most, I spent $75 per term. Sometimes, I never bought books at all.

We have a new textbook. Brand new, first edition, not Solomon's anymore. That's what makes it suck so much.
