I had this discussion with my sister (who is still in college). Many of you are talking about how much you paid for text books and the figures seem outrageous to me. When I was in college, my professors would put copies on reserve at the appropriate undergrad libraries. All students were welcome to photocopy whatever they wished out of the book but nobody could take it out of the library. This alleviated some of the costs associated with college for me and as a bonus, often good samaritans would add class notes, old exam copies or other useful things to the reserve copy for all to use.
