It only costed $80 to register here ;A;
 
Holycrap, it costs you guys a lot to register! I had to pay £20 ($29 USD, $38 CAD) to submit my application form for my undergrad and postgrad.

...but then, I think fees are substantially more expensive over here since the system was ballsed up. Something like £9000 pa, rather than the £3000 I had to pay =/
 
Most textbooks generally aren't essential I don't think; they're more supplementary reading, and if you've got a college/university library they've probably got several copies in there. I managed to get by mostly on lecture notes, although I did try and do the recommended reading...for a while anyway. xD

They're so damn pricey, though. £60 a book is crazy, especially considering the costs on top of that for other, more essential things...like food, rent, etc.
 
So after one day of doing some document submission, I got my dorm room key.

My dorm is like a three storey house, the room is not that small, have a stable Internet and it is facing outside means fresh air! The rental is not that expensive for like 230 ringgit without counting electric and water bill. But I guess some uni students having sem-break yet so it is still dead silence.

I won't say it is a college anymore, ok I put wrongly that time. Actually, I am going for one year foundation of Science and four more years for Quantity Surveing Degree in Uni so I guess it is not a college haha.

But the senior is great, and humorous with the best question of all time for our troublesome life:

" What to Eat?"
 
University tuition fees in the UK are ridiculously high. It was originally £3,000 but they tripled it to £9,000 per year meaning if you take a 3-year degree course you'll owe them £27,000 in total.
 
I pay 1k€ per year for University. And I have my own different ways to get the textbooks I need. /yaaarrrr
 
Yeah...I got an undergrad and a postgrad for less than £15k, now I couldn't even do two years on that...how they expect students to pay these things off I do not know.

ahahahahahaha that's cute. I spent $330 (Roughly 170£) on ONE textbook for my discrete math class.

ALTHOUGH one time I did buy 5 books for English class one semester and it cost me EXACTLY $100.

...that had better of been the best freakin' textbook ever. That's outrageous.

I actually managed to pawn most of my first year textbooks to first years in my second year...for a fraction of what I paid, sure, but money is money and I wasn't going to use them again. xD
 
Doesn't Amazon sell textbooks for discounted prices?
 
I bought textbooks like once but when I discovered we never use them, I didn't after that :3
 
all of this textbook talk has me feeling like the $100 in amazon gift cards i have saved won't get me one semester of books :v
 
What's a Scantron? O_o

We had to buy own print credits here...well, if we used up the £5 we were given at the start of the year. Mine accrued to the end of my third year when I had to print off a terrifying amount for my dissertation...in full colour.
 
As someone who went to schools for students with special needs, I never had the pain of buying textbooks since some of these students need simplicity.
