Unless your major is accounting. Cause the tax book is outdated after everytime congress meets/President decides to change tax law. Financial accounting will change with FASB statements very often on the same subject matter. Get rid of your books in accounting while they will take them back!!!

PS anyone wanna have a bon fire i got like 3 or 4 books they won't take back because laws have changed and they can't be taught anymore, and they were brand new a short while ago

wrong! mommie buys books every term, so the book money i earn from selling them back is sweet on the lips of a poor sober student.

I always keep my important books & file away my class notes.

You never know when you might need to recall the information.

Besides, who actually LEARNS anything in college anyway?

I always sell my books. So far I have only kept two books, and those were books with short stories and poems and whatnot. They also happened to be the books that cost the least.

I have no need for the other books. I have my notes for the courses, and I never even read the books. I've known some people who haven't even bothered to buy books for classes, because they know they'll never use them. That's what I need to start doing. Screw this buying and selling crap, paying $80 for a book and selling it for $20.

I sell the ones I don't think I'll need again, but if I get one that's really good and I either want for fun or to look back on, I'll keep it.
