It's been a very looong time since I attended college fulltime and this problem existed all the way back then. There was a thriving used book store just off campus with a large selection of most general ed books. Fortunately, I transferred to another college that was (a) closer to home and (b) didn't force students to buy books. We returned our books to the campus book store at the end of each semester.

I did have to purchase two textbooks for a course I took this summer at the local community college. Two books were over $50. That could add up in a big hurry if I had been taking more than one class.
