I think that highly depends on your subject. I know people that said it was expected to have your own copy of X,Y,Z because you needed it all the time and not just to look something up once a semester. Biology for example. For me with CS it also wouldn't have made sense to use the ones I bought in a library, because everyone would've needed them at the same time. But I can't complain, the cost was negligible, maybe 5-7 books under 100€ each, over the whole timespan.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> because you needed it all the time At my university they had one copy of every required or recommended text book per student in the library, so you could all check them out for the duration of your course. Why don't they do that in the US? > negligible, maybe 5-7 books under 100€ each That's... $700!!!
- wink 5y agoSee, in our library they had maybe 5-10 copies for 100 students, so I never heard of something like this. Also some of those books I've been referencing again even after finishing my studies so I'm glad I have them. And yes, what's wrong with about 100$ per year? (my degree was 9 semesters)
