    When I studied BioMed, I boguht new textbooks every semester.

    Nk no wait let me rephrase that. We had different texts prescribed for different subjects. After the first semester I bought second hand and older editions. Where I could, most of those texts became obsolete if they had newer editions, the way things move so quick in science.

    For my education degree I am buying new because they aren't as expensive and they will hopefully last me.

    I'm up for about $280 for my texts this semester, I like to buy the books new if I know I'll keep them for future reference. Otherwise I just photocopy the pages I need from the library.

    I imagine they would be fairly similar if not the same!
    This year so far is
    Stables & Rankin Physiology in Childbearing
    Fraser & Cooper Myles textbook for Midwives
    Martini & Nath Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology
    Barkway Psychology for Health Professionals
    Liamputtong Research Methods in Health: Foundations for Evidence Based Practice
    Kosier & Erbs Fundamentals in Nursing
    & one other Mid one that I cant remember because I cant find the list!
    I also bought the little Mid Essentials one (spiral A6?? notepad thing)

    I have a few books still

    Fortunately I think I only have major nursing subjects this year so hopefully wont need anymore, but i will keep it in mind

    Sam and Indadhanu: I am glad education texts aren't as costly as health!!
