How much on average will a student spend on books each year?
While it is strictly an estimate and can vary based on the number of credits a student is enrolled for, the average amount that a full-time undergraduate student spends on books each year is $1,000 ($500 per semester). For part-time undergraduates and graduate students, it depends on the number of credits/courses one is enrolled for. Estimating $150 for each course can typically provide you with a ballpark figure.
