my borthers text book that should see him through all 3years at uni(and at the price of it it had better!) was Â£85 and it wasnt that big

Sarah's books for Human Genetics were Â£120, but she got them for Â£80 by buying in bulk - however , these are the ESSENTIAL books for THIS year only, the others she gets out of the library. And next year is another matter indeed!

Some of my degree books were Â£80 each and that was in 1992-95! Mind you I am glad I wasn't a student student, (I was a mture one, with kids and my own home!) as lugging those around campus would not have been amusing - especially as Sarah lives over 2 miles from the main campus of Leeds! I think students should be allowed granny trolleys to carry their books!

i never actually needed my text books in lectures, i just used them at home, but when i was doing my dissertation i had to make two trips home with the books i took out!

I must admit doing my english half of degree i liked buying the books and reading the as it made my booke collection look incredibly exspanse

I just love books pretty much - they sort of overtake the house in places - I am thinking of having a complete book case the length of the living room which will use some useless space..... costly though!

Then there is Lined - as opposed to Amy's Ligned....
booksfrom by degree.... ? books from MY degree??

OK Amy - you're tired, it's the end of the day when you post - we all do bloopers in our posts - but this last one needs re-writing completely!

The shelp a the top of the wardrobe at my parents home, is double lined with books from my degree. To me, that shows my degree (ie the number of books - hopefully all read!) not the piece of paper I recieved at graduation.

how did I do?

Or alternatively, if I shaped my piggy bank like a Trident missile, Tony Blair would be falling over himself to shove billions of pounds into it.

Result.

my piggybank would have to be in the shape of a rude letter from the Internal Revenue..... sigh

almost spot on Jude! They have all been started just not all of them finished. But am doing that now and have read some total rubbish as part of my degree! Which was joint with International Relations.

All the books and work show my degree and what i obtained rather than a piece of paper!- this post took me ages to type as i checked it all!

You didn't really graduate in English, did you?
