<p>Being in college I have moved many times. From apartments, to rooms in houses, to friends living rooms. I've moved maybe 7 times since I began college. There is one thing that I always dread moving. My books! So far I have kept all of them, but I never open them again after I finish a class. Should I get rid of them and make my future moves much easier? Or, will I miss them to much? Should we keep our text books or dump them?</p>
<p>I usually sell them on Amazon so that I can get (at least part) of my money back that I paid for them.
The books I do keep are the ones I actually have a genuine interest in or I feel may help me in my major later on.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I sell them all.</p>
<p>I plan on keeping all of my statistics books (I’m a Stat major), but I sell everything else if I can. Unfortunately, I’m stuck with a few that could not be sold.</p>
<p>Only the ones in regard to my major except Art History.</p>
<p>major-related ones and my Spanish textbook</p>
<p>I’ve kept all the books from my major as well as any from tangentially related fields. While in grad school I’ve gone to each one of them a few times. It’s also nice because when friends from outside my field ask me a question I can give them an answer off the top of my head, and let them borrow a book talking more about it if they want to learn more.</p>
<p>I sell every book away so I can use the money I get back to buy the following semester’s books.</p>
