I'm not paying for it, the VA is. But it seems the whole pretense of being American has been thrown out the window. Of all the students in the class, around 40 - 50% aren't even American, and they don't live in the US either. This is just blatant bullshit. And i hate the upcharging. The course should cover the costs of everything, instead the course is one cost, the books are another, the subscription, etc, etc.

Keep a sense of humor by seeing yourself as an explorer in a degenerate culture of freaks and deviants. Wade through the bullshit by taking as few social science and arts classes as possible. Focus only on STEM classes that provide useful knowledge. Rent textbooks from online sources rather than buying them if your college bookstore doesn't offer rentals. The authors will have a new edition within 5 years, making your copy out of date anyway. Enjoy the perks of free time before you go back to working full time. Chances are slim but look for a based mate who shares your values. Tell us amusing stories from your journey.

I already work full time, this is just because i get a "free" benefit. I make 6 figures in STEM, so this is a complete waste of time to me right now. Also, they don't do books anymore, it's all subscriptions now.

Funny, my uni had both. And made sure we paid for both. Or, uhh, made sure the VA paid it for me anyways. I went to a more tech-centered uni with separate, multi-story buildings for STEM fields, several of which were hunting grounds for talent.

We still ran into diversity bullshit. And this is a deeeeep red state. The only blue spot is right near the uni and it's hordes of mudbloods running around committing crime on the taxpayers dime.

The university I went to had at leastone copy of each textbook for that year. I would just scan the pages because I had a ZIP drive and so did the computers with scanners and I had a CD-R in my dorm.
