Every year students have to fork over money for textbooks. And, as Colby Howell tells us in this Bobcat Update, the prices keep going up.

College costs a lot of money. Tuition rates seem to rise every year. Room and board cost more. And students are also expected to shell out a few hundred bucks each semester for textbooks. Graduate student Nammy Lynch says textbook prices are too high.

Some students use the Internet to save a couple dollars. Other ways to save money include buying used books or borrowing books from classmates.

An interesting thing to note: The most expensive text at the bookstore was for a course in cost management.
