    I don’t even remember.

    I had another class, I think it was psychology, where you had to get the book. The book sold for about 50 bucks used, or 350 new, but if you got the used one, you also needed to shell out 300 bucks for the one-time site access code that was included in the back of each book, and that site was where you got your homework and assignments from.

    I feel like every millennial is due a 150% refund of their student loans. Everything was a fucking grift, the quality of education, and the promise of well-paying careers did not pan out for most people. Fuck it, throw GenZ in there too, they’re getting the same fucking scams.

      Oh yeah, I remember those coming out. Before that they did the same thing but instead of an access code the back of the front cover had a cd taped to it.

      Yeah… Poor bastards got hosed during COVID. I know at the University my wife teaches at they were charging lab and room fees for online classes.
