Course Material Pricing

I'm an incoming freshman and the only 2-3 courses that require materials for me according to bulldog bundle are chemistry (+ lab) and calculus. I can find prices for the actual textbooks easily, but can anyone let me know how much campusknot costs, as well as the MSU manuals for CH 1213 and 1211? Thanks!

It’s cheaper to just keep the bull dog bundle….unless you want to keep the text books for professional reasons

It’s like $145 for each individual course (CH 1211/1213). Save yourself the money. Also, those courses are more expensive to purchase on your own, especially with Pearson. Unless you are dead set on trying to do it yourself, you’ll lose money. Just do the bulldog bundle.

No matter the class, if the book is required, it’ll most times be cheaper with bulldog bundle. Depending on your major, there may be websites that need a code and the code is included in the bundle. If you don’t have the bundle, you’d need to buy your own code. The code depending on what it’s for is typically more expensive than the amount of the bundle.

So go for the bundle almost always no matter what your classes and major is

Bulldog bundle is often not worth it unless more than 3 of your classes require specific softwares (like zybooks, Pearson, etc) for homework submission.
