<p>Stop compiling, its hard to maneuver through this thread! Canāt you just edit the OP? And if not, it doesnāt really matter, we can just scroll down!</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>@Serendi: I rather have it all on one post then look through some 20-something pages. Beside you canāt edit after twenty minutes.</p>
<p>18)Buy my books wayy early so I donāt have to wait in those horrendous lines.</p>
<p>I find the best prices by buying from random people (post books to buy/sell on facebook pages, there might be a dedicated page) and especially at textbook swaps, where people also set their own prices. The engineering school at my U has one every semester, and Iāve gotten stuff for, say, 40 that was 120 at the bookstore. Then sold it for 50 next semester. Though the internet can have crazy deals, like 1.00 if the book is an old, widely used edition. </p>
<p>Bookstore should be a last resort, or for things that canāt be bought anywhere else, like equipment for a class or lab manuals or something. Though Iāve sold stuff back to the bookstore, it is suprisingly better than expected, none of that buy for 200, sell for 2 stuff Iāve seen online.</p>
<p>Also, how about only posting a complete list every page or so? (15 posts) That wonāt make it unreadable.</p>
<p>Rent an RV with some friends and camp at a NASCAR race.</p>
<p>I will not take a single science class unless it is for fun.</p>
