How much will the books, supplies for a class cost? DSG now has a database to help - Matthew Griffin, Duke Chronicle

Did you drop $300 on a textbook only to read a few pages? A new Duke Student Government project can't make you actually do the readings for your 8:30 a.m. class, but it can tell you how much they'll cost. Duke's tuition sits at roughly $56,000, but that doesn't include the price of books and other things needed for classes—which can vary between courses and be difficult to estimate without access to the syllabus. Thanks to a new website created as part of a Duke Student Government project, students may now be armed with better knowledge about what different classes might cost. https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2019/02/cost-of-class-supplies-duke-university-student-government-course-cost-transparency-project
