<p>I just got all of my books for this semester and was wondering which types of books are good to resell and which ones I should keep. Do you guys generally keep your books?</p>
<p>I usually keep ones that I think will be useful for future semesters (usually those related to my major). I try to sell the rest back to the school bookstore, but if they aren't going to buy it or give me much money for it, I keep it and try to sell some other way.</p>
<p>You'll probably have a good idea by the end of the semester which ones you want to sell and keep. I generally only keep them if they were useful and relate to what I plan to study in the future.</p>
<p>sell them all. If you need the information in the future, that's what the library or internet's for.</p>
<p>If it relates to your major, keep them, especially if it's a pre-professional major. Your school library won't be available to you once you graduate, and for me at least, my local library doesn't have much relating to my major. </p>
<p>I have not found much useful information on the internet for many of my upper level courses. If there is, then it's usually only a tidbit, and not nearly enough. It also takes a lot longer to search on the Internet than a textbook on your shelf.</p>
<p>I would keep one if I especially liked it and found it very helpful. I still have a high school chemistry book that I fell in love with. It explained things so well, was very clear, and was in great condition, so I just kept it and paid the $75 fee (or whatever it was) before I graduated. I already got chemistry homework from college, and guess what? My high school book clarified something I was confused on better than the college book. </p>
<p>I plan on keeping any books that may be useful to me in the future if I'm taking a related course (e.g. I'm talking Calculus I this semester, so I'll keep the Calc I book for next semester's Calc II if I really like the Calc I book.... Once I'm totally done with my Calc series of classes, I'll probably sell them all back to the bookstore at that point).</p>
