<p>my daughter is so busy with studies that she wouldn’t even take a magazine that I got her to read on the train- I bet she is looking forward to graduating and getting to read something that isn’t connected with school :)</p>

<p>I took a look at 3-4 schools’ lists. Several included books authored by profs at that college. While I can’t prove it, I suspect some were assigned reading for courses. The books listed aren’t text books, but lots of courses have required reading in addition to and/or instead of textbooks.</p>

<p>College students often buy assigned books from Amazon (and other sources) because it’s much cheaper then the college book store.</p>

<p>Not surprised to see “Calculus” making the top 5 for Smith College… that’s the most griped about by the students, especially when the department decided to make it regular. Way too much money in the bookstore. </p>

<p>Colgate makes some sense to me- showing the popularity of the poly sci, econ, and psych majors while stating that the class History of Music is also very popular… :)</p>

<p>I think my D buys books from Powells that she can’t get at the school bookstore- but actually I have noticed that the school bookstore has pretty good prices</p>
