Text Book Delivery Service

<p>Does anyone have an opinion on that textbook delivery service that sends the books to your house before school? Do you have a better chance to get used books this way? I know then you have to take the books to school with you. Another thing to carry. </p>

<p>But is it a complete zoo at the bookstore the first days?</p>

<p>Any opinions?
Thanks,</p>

<p>I am only an incoming freshman, but I have heard too many times that you shouldn't buy your books at the NYU bookstore.</p>

<p>they are overpriced like ****!
try half.com and such.</p>

<p>when do we get a list of what books we need...and also when do we need to have the books?</p>

<p>around mid-august, you can go to <a href="http://www.bookstores.nyu.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.bookstores.nyu.edu&lt;/a> and look up the books your professors have assigned...you need the books whenever your prof decides to make you read them</p>

<p>so to upperclassmens, did anyone go through with this textbook service? how was it, was it worth all the benefits that it advertised in the letter they sent out in july?</p>

<p>im going to be doing the textbook service. i didnt really want to cuz i know they're overpriced, but my parents insisted. but on the one hand, it will be kinda nice because we're already going to have a lot of other things to worry about at the start of school, you know?</p>

<p>the reason i'm not doing the delivery thing is that i'm from several hours away and i don't want to have more heavy things to tote around and move in with me, just something to consider if you live far.</p>
