Textbook Troubles
As the school year is nearing its start, it’s time for students to buy/sell textbooks again! I consider myself lucky as my friend lent me most of my first year textbooks. I ended up only having to sell one textbook this year, my MATH 104/105 textbook. That shouldn’t be too bad right? I bought it new from the bookstore last year because UBC decided to change the textbook so I wasn’t able to buy new.
Wrong. UBC decided to change up the textbook again. Although I do suspect they just split it up into 3 volumes like what they did with the Biology textbook last year, I’m having little to no success selling my Math textbook. I’m angry because I spent the whole year keeping my book in mint condition hoping that I can sell it for a good price, but instead I’m potentially left with $168 of mint condition dead weight in my room.
Really UBC, do you need to change your textbooks every year? Especially for math where most of the material hasn’t changed at all.
yea same thing happened to me too. For math as well. They keep doing that.
What I ended up doing was donating it to those people who were sleeping at Irving for a fundraiser… Oh well, it went to a good cause, and I’m happy for that
