My books probably have abandonment issues

My university books must have abandonment issues by now: I pay attention to them almost every day for seven weeks, I cry on them while studying for the incoming exams, I write my notes on them when I attend lectures… and then I just dump them somewhere, either on my bookshelf, on the floor of my bedroom or the space under my bed, and forget they ever existed.

University makes us buy books that we will use for a course and then will never read again, each student spends thousands of euros on books that could be provided by the university itself. Why? Because we are already paying a huge amount of fees. It is already difficult for international students to pay rent and utilities, pay for public transport (if you are not European and therefore cannot get the free OV despite working part-time), and buy groceries almost daily. 

Books are fairly expensive most of the time, and if some teachers are understanding enough to allow you to study from a PDF, others expect the physical copy of the book for their own reasons. It would be so much better if the library bought some copies of the most requested books and allowed students to borrow them for a few weeks. It would also be great if second-hand books were bought from the students who do not use them anymore. If you think I am asking for too much, consider this: 5 percent of students in the Netherlands have dyslexia. Most people with dyslexia or any other learning disability struggle to read from a screen or are particularly sensitive to the white background of a PDF page, therefore they prefer learning from physical books. If the library managed to acquire a few copies of the most read books, especially the ones which have a higher price, people with a learning disability and students with a low salary would be able to borrow them and the university itself would win inclusivity points. 

It is even worse when a new edition of a really expensive book comes out right after you buy the older one, and there is absolutely no way you will be able to sell it to future students for a decent price, trying to get back at least half of the money you spent, as sometimes the latest version of each book is required in order to pass the course. I genuinely am in love with what I am studying, and I literally read a Shakespearean play per week since the school year started, but it makes me feel a bit frustrated that I had to spend 73 euros, therefore an entire work shift, on a book I will most likely never touch again after this course ends. But who knows, maybe I am indeed overreacting. Maybe the Shakespearean drama is now flowing in my veins.
