<p>ok… yes you can order them online.</p>
<p>Professors understand that college students arent millionaires. They understand that your textbooks take a week or so. You can finalize your schedule in the first week and order textbooks online.</p>
<p>Normally the first hw is after the first week. Professors also have textbooks of their own and they put some on reserve on the library. So you can use them until your books come in</p>
<p>One class had a offbeat book that wasnt available in the library. My prof gave me a weekend extension as my book got delayed in shipping.</p>
<p>All in all. You can order them online and get them a little late and be fine</p>
