<p>When and how do we get books? Is it after we get our schedule?</p>
<p>Also, I know we have to bring in Ethernet cables but what about in classes? Do we need/use wireless? Do I even need to bring laptop to classes?</p>
<p>Yea you get your books after you get your schedule. What I like to do is to look up what book I need at: Locate</a> Course Materials</p>
<p>Then price the book online at half.com. It will almost always be cheaper online. Make sure you get the right edition and such. Half.com usually takes a while to ship so spend a couple extra bucks on expedited shipping.</p>
<p>If you don't want to buy books online, there are two main bookstores located off of Easton/College Ave. - NJ Books (usually cheaper) and Rutgers Bookstore (at Ferran Mall).</p>
<p>Pretty much all of the campus is wireless. Some buildings and areas of certain buildings are purposely cutoff from wireless. You'll find this in parts of SERC and the BME building on Busch...apparently the internet can be distracting during class.</p>
<p>I don't know what kind of classes you will be taking but generally I never take mine unless it's for a class like psych where I just need to type words. If you're taking math, science, and/or drawing intensive classes then I wouldn't bother bringing a laptop.</p>
<p>Thanks for the Advice.
and For books,you should also try to Amazon or B&N.</p>
