Viking Voices showcases student opinions on different issues by asking them different questions. This week we asked students: “Where did you get your textbooks this quarter, how much did you spend and why?"
Junior, environmental science major
Amazon and Craigslist, $350
“I buy some of my textbooks at the bookstore just because of lab manuals, which definitely went up in price. It seems like the science books are a bit more expensive.”
Junior, political science and economics double major
Amazon and Bookstore, $60
“I think the books at the Western bookstore are overpriced a lot of the time and they buy it back for a tenth of the price and I don’t like that.”
Junior, interdisciplinary studies concentration
Amazon and Bookstore, $100
“I overestimated the shipment date so the books didn’t show up on time, so that was a little problematic.”
