In past classes, with a few exceptions, I have been able to sell my books back to the bookstore at the end of the semester for up to 50% of what I paid for them new. These books, however, will remain in my library for reference. I also kept my Anatomy & Physiology book ($168.00) from the two semesters of that class I had last year.
Thank God for Pell Grants!
