About 70 bucks. but if you get them from half.com they're a lot cheaper. And then you can sell them to the bookstore for tons of moeny. Usually you can find out what books you need by checking the university's website or

https://www.efollett.com/

But don't buy your books there, get them from half.com

The only risk is 1. You order the wrong book
2. If you wait till school starts, it takes a while for the books to come in.

Certain subjects also cost more then others
I paid about $500 for a psych book and packets, chem book and packets, a language arts book, and a writing handbook.
That is a very hard item to approximate! It depends on what classes you are taking, as well as if you are able to get books used instead of paying for brand new ones. This semester I lucked out; spending about $275.
300-400
between $200-$500 each semester.
It depends on your classes and their areas.

I've paid as little as $100 for used books, or as much as $400 for used and new books.
Well it depends on which courses you are taking..you could save big bucks $$$ if you plan to buy books on-line. Apart from ebay, Amazon, or price line there are other sites which compares prices from most of the big on line book sites and you would be able to find the best price used/new or you could buy/sell a textbook locally.
