<p>I'm sating a statistics course this summer and am now able to view the textbook that I will be required to have for the course. Should I buy the book now or is it better to wait until I actually get to Cal in a few weeks? Does it matter?</p>
<p>Also... Does anyone in the Freshman Edge program know if we'll all be living together or will we be living with other Cal students (sophomores, juniors, etc.) who are taking summer courses?</p>
<p>For the book, you may want to check if Amazon Marketplace sellers have it for significantly lower prices than the bookstores around campus.</p>
<p>For example, the book for Statistics 2/20/W21 (Freedman Statistics 4th edition ISBN 9780393929720) is $138.50 new and $104.00 used at the campus bookstore, and $106.85 used at Ned’s.</p>
<p>But Amazon Marketplace sellers offer it [new[/url</a>] for as low as $82.97 and [url=<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0393929728/sr=1-1/qid=1338078804/ref=olp_tab_used?ie=UTF8&coliid=&me=&qid=1338078804&sr=1-1&seller=&colid=&condition=used]used[/url”>http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0393929728/sr=1-1/qid=1338078804/ref=olp_tab_used?ie=UTF8&coliid=&me=&qid=1338078804&sr=1-1&seller=&colid=&condition=used]used[/url</a>] for as low as $62.98.</p>
