<p>Hey, I know there are a few upperclassmen out there, and I was wondering if you could help me with this question. I'm an entering freshman and I have my classes all settled and decided, and I'm not changing them. On the school bookstore's website, you can enter in your classes and buy your books. Should I order my books now and have them mailed to my house, or should I wait until I get to school and then get them?</p>
<p>What do most students do?</p>
<p>It depends. One of my friends last year had it mailed to his house and then brought them to school. I just went to the bookstore when I moved in and bought my books. This year I think I am going to wait a few days until after classes start to buy my books. I ended up paying close to 150 for my physics book/kit, but once the class started, the prof was like "yea, we recommend you have a book, but if you don't want to pay for the package, just buy the E-book for $30."</p>
<p>i usually order mine from half.com or amazon.com for sometimes less than half the price of the bookstore.</p>
