<p>Hey everyone, I know this is super short notice as our incoming class will be arriving on campus in less than two days, but I'm a bit nervous about buying books on campus. I didn't have the opportunity to go to any summer/pre-orientation programs so I'll be picking my classes this coming weekend. Any advice on buying books at the Campus Store?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My advice is: don’t use the campus store. The books there are way overpriced and can be bought for far less on amazon. Also, using your .edu email address, you can get free 2 day shipping.</p>

Just repeating Ryan’s good advice.</p>
<p>Amazon is always the first place I look for cheap books. Also, for freshmen/intro classes, Lock & Chain often has what you need for cheap…</p>
<p>Also, international editions on eBay are cheap. You can’t sell them back, but the loss on each is usually (not always) less than buying/selling back to Amazon.</p>
<p>Haven’t had any issues with differences with US editions thus far.</p>
