<p>Does anyone know when we are suppose to buy our textbooks for school?</p>

<p>How about before classes begin. </p>

<p>You should be able to find out what books you require by going to the online campus bookstore. Type in your classes/sections and print out the list of books you need. Then do some comparison shopping.</p>

<p>Well, before class starts would be great, but many professors tend to change the books they use on the first day of class… so yeah. Just keep that in mind.</p>

4

<p>I’m pretty sure this has been addressed before, textbooks should be bought after the first day of class, when you know what to buy</p>

5

<p>Is it possible to save money and download all your books from… certain websites? <em>cough</em> torrents <em>cough cough</em></p>

6

<p>i am willing to place a bet that it will be really hard to find, but yes, it’s possible.</p>

<p>I dl other books all the time. lolololol</p>

<p>Reading books off a screen = DEATH</p>

<p>pdf files suck anyways</p>

8

<p>ugh I know I hate to study of a screen I prefer good old highlighter and paper</p>

9

<p>really? i read so much faster on a screen. haha</p>

10

<p>Good luck referring to other pages and finding certain topics on a screen…</p>

11

<p>ctrl+f / search option is available.</p>

<p>Just like people can bookmark pages in a book, you can do that for the screen too… or if not, just write down the pages.</p>

<p>There are pros and cons, of course. But… it’s really personal preference. It’s not likely that the textbook will be on a screen anyway. lol. I’m not too sure I’d like reading a textbook on a screen either, but I’m definitely all for it if you’re reading a regular book.</p>

12

<p>I guess, but with a huge textbook you’ll be clicking enter repeatedly with the search feature</p>

<p>I guess it does add some mobility though, considering how bulky they can get</p>

<p>jenuwin whats ur major?</p>

14

<p>should I buy books after register for my classes or should I wait until after the first day?</p>

15
