<p>Should we be ordering our books right now or sometime this week? Or is it cool to wait until after we move in</p>
<p>Well, if you’re gonna order online, you should buy your books soon. You don’t know how long shipping’ll take. Plus all the cheaper books will be gone. I recommend <a href=“http://www.dealoz.com/[/url]”>http://www.dealoz.com/</a></p>
<p>also, when i click on the list of books for all my classes, each class has like 3-4 books listed underneath it. do i need to buy all of them? cuz its all so expensive</p>
<p>you only need to get the ones with ‘R’ next to them - R means required, O means optional.</p>
<p>I used Dealoz and yes, some people take hella amount of time to ship a book so choose “expedited” to just be on the safe side. It is only two dollars more than the regular crappy media mail.</p>
<p>ugh great…so my orders have shipped today (sept 8th) from east coast to california. I hope the books can get here by the 16th (when I move in)… maybe I should have put down my UCSD address?</p>
<p>Just to clarify, if there’s an “R” next to the study guide/solutions manual, is that required also? Would the study guide be required in class? (this is for Math 20B and Chem 6A)</p>
<p>I’ve asked a friend of mine and he said that only a textbook is actually required for classes. The solution manuals are helpful though</p>
<p>man ive been looking at amazon.com today and the prices are actually more expensive than the sd bookstore prices, whats up with that</p>
<p>Amazon is not that great… use half.com</p>
<p>also, on the sd bookstore website, i see that you can either buy online or reserve your textbooks. whats the point of having both up there cuz they sound like the same thing to me</p>
<p>I used half.com, but I’ve heard good things about dealoz.com as well – If you’re going to oder them online and not use the pick-up service that UCSD provides, do it NOW because shipping can be unpredictable</p>
<p>I just received my books a few days ago, and I ordered them a week-a week and a half ago</p>
<p>for MATH20C, under the list of books needed it lists ‘multivariable calculus’ twice, although one is a bundle pack i think. but next to both of them is the required sign (R). so im confused, are we supposed to buy them both</p>
<p>also, im considering just buying my textbooks from the ucsd bookstore online. but there are 2 options: reserve textbooks then pickup or just straightup buy it from the site. whats teh difference</p>
<p>^I assume when you buy online they ship them to you. Textbook reservation service allows you to pick them up on move-in weekend.</p>
<p>Both are bad options. the bookstore is completely overpriced - I don’t know any upperclassmen who use the bookstore.</p>
<p>^ actually for the bookstore the book for math 20a is cheaper than at amazon or half or its very close to the price, like 2 dollars less or something</p>
<p>oh ok thanks, what about the math20c textbooks, am i supposed to buy both since there’s an R for required next to both of them</p>
<p>if there’s an R, you should buy the book, for whatever class.</p>
<p>is anyone ordering older versions of textbooks to save money? for the math and science, i don’t think it’s a good idea because of homework problems and stuff. but if the books are for like polisci…does it really matter?</p>
<p>and does anyone know the actual book for chem 4? i can’t seem to find it and/or the title doesn’t match the one listed under Classes on tritonlink.</p>
<p>one of the required books is only multivariate calculus, the other is the whole text for 20A, B & C.</p>
<p>why would we need the text from matha and b if we’re doing math20c</p>
