ST. PAUL, Minnesota (AP) — Winona State University senior Rick Howden, a business administration major, figures he knows a bad deal when he sees it. A $4,500 tab for his college textbooks by the time he graduates? Bad deal.
That includes a $142 business text he had to buy that he has barely opened.
“It ends up sitting on the floor next to my desk,” Howden said. “It’s hard for me to justify.”
