$Prices for books$

It's not like high school anymore, the professors do not pass out your books to you the first week of classes. When joining college you have some more responsibility to take care of. To ensure you make good grades and maintain a high GPA it is highly recommended that you get the materials required for class. Textbooks are really expensive and take a lot from those students who may not have received much financial aid so it can be difficult at times to get those required books, however you can find cheaper books from different resources.

You can order your textbooks online from sites such as:

•  www.chegg.com
•  http://nku.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/BNCBHomePage?storeId=65199&catalogId=10001&langId=-1  
• www.Bigwords.com

There is also an off campus bookstore near NKU that will let you rent or buy used/new textbooks that is a lot cheaper depending on the type of book you need. Coming from a personal experience using the off campus bookstore is more convenient than online resources due to being able to acquire the book right away instead of having to wait for it in the mail. Although most professors will say, "YOU NEED TO HAVE THE TEXTBOOK TO PASS THIS CLASS." That is false, some classes you can get buy without the textbook as long as you attend class regularly and take good notes. Now this isn't recommended but if you don't have the funds to buy the textbooks then you can wait it off a little.
