all your textbooks add up to my one. i could have bought a 160$ textbook for discrete maths but i got it for free he he

I bought one throughout the entirety of my undergraduate degree, which I didn't actually use. I think libraries and the internet are already a pretty good resource; buying textbooks isn't necessary.

I also only bought one throughout uni but did use it and it was like 60 quid I think. Other than that never bought one

Never bought any for undergrad because our library was pretty wel stocked and I don't particularly like textbooks cos they dumb things down too much. I bought every textbook for a levee though cos the exams were just about memorising the material in those books. I still have them somewhere.

I got told to on many occasions but never did

When I was in college, we didn't need textbooks as it was more researching stuff online so nope.
