Book Prices and Student Fees

I really didn't have a problem with my book prices at all, compared to what I've heard from everyone else, mine was a pretty reasonable price. I only had to pay $320 for my books this sememster. It's amazing how one little book can be $70...I don't get it. How can one book cost $200?? I've heard a lot of people had to pay over $500 for their books and they only got four of them! I didn't mind paying only that amount of money for my books, but when the student fees that I pay are more expensive then my books, that's just hard to believe and really stupid. I think student fee's are pointless and just a waste of money. I think it's stupid that we have to pay for things we don't even use at all. For example, I don't know why I'm paying for the Student Union fee when I hardly even go in the CSU. I understand some of these fees, the University needs help paying for things too, but I don't understand why they have to take a lot of our money away to pay for them. It's stupid to make people pay $400 for student fees when some of them transfer after a semester anyways. Student fee's are just stupid.
