I'm so old I Remember when:

That's the problem, college tuition increased 8% every semester when I was in college. That's an astronomical increase. They're pricing out the middle class. Books were also expensive, hundreds of dollars and the professor chose the next edition for the next semester so you couldn't get a good price on your book. I bought used books as much as I could. The one edition I bought the only difference was the order of the chapters. I paid $20 for it, my peers paid $200 for theirs. Student loan forgiveness isn't the answer, there needs to be reform at the college level.

I was often able to get copies from the school library.

Then you dodged a bullet.

Yep. It was still a mean question to ask. I have no doubt I embarrassed him.

I never thought of that. First school I went to didn't have a library after that I went to night school after work. Didn't see the inside of a library then either, except once or twice

Sounds like was immature too!

The professors often donate copies to their school library. My school had a 90 day checkout for non-fiction, so it worked out well.

Now, since I have thoroughly derailed the thread, it behooves me to bring it back on track.
