In the words of the immortal bard, “To be, or not to be: that is the question…” OK, well perhaps the question we are dealing with is not as life and death as that penned by the sage himself, but it is still vital nonetheless, and it is one that I will attempt to shed light on here.
Most of us have been in a situation where, after spending a ton of money (often borrowed money) on textbooks we have come to class and learned that either these textbooks were optional, that no one else had simply bothered to buy the books or had got them from a library. Unfortunately it is impossible to prevent every occurrence of this situation, and no matter how hard you try to avoid being played for a chump, any diligent student will at one point find themselves having overpaid for textbooks or paid for “useless” ones. But there are a few steps you can take to prevent such occurences, and I will cover these here.

I attend Baruch College of the City University of New York. Most outside of New York City have never heard of it, though both Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Lauren attended and subsequently dropped out. That’s OK, I suppose. After all, we’re pretty well known within the city and respected for our business programs. Of particular [...]
