At my university they had one copy of every required or recommended text book per student in the library, so you could all check them out for the duration of your course. Why don't they do that in the US?

That's... $700!!!

See, in our library they had maybe 5-10 copies for 100 students, so I never heard of something like this. Also some of those books I've been referencing again even after finishing my studies so I'm glad I have them.

And yes, what's wrong with about 100$ per year? (my degree was 9 semesters)
