Sadly, it’s most likely Barnes & Noble Education since most universities have outsourced their bookstores to them. At least my university now offers free textbooks to students but Barnes & Noble Education runs the logistics of it.
When I was putting myself through school, I could never afford any of the textbooks. I pretty much lived in the school library for mid-terms and finals. It sucked. When most kids were studying at home, I’d have to camp out in the library because it’s the only place that I had access to the textbooks. If a particular class didn’t have their textbook available in the library then I couldn’t take that class. This was before Bit Torrent, so piracy and PDFs weren’t available options.
The real crime is the price the university is selling textbooks for.
More like professors who require their own published book for their class gouged to oblivion lol.
This might come down to the university not paying them enough…
