textbook shipping program

<p>got some letter from nyu about some textbook program. i love how its sooo personalized, "dear class of 2011" to a '10 transfer student -_-</p>

<p>anyways
textbook shipping program - good? bad?</p>

<p>(out of state...not sure if its a good idea)</p>

<p>i was wondering the same</p>

<p>Yeah what the hell is that? I was planning to buy textbooks online for cheap. But anyway uh how do we even know which books to buy, since we haven't even registered yet?</p>

<p>i signed up for classes already, but im a transfer, might be diff for freshmen?</p>

<p>I want to wait and see if my son comes home with a list of books to buy after Freshman orientation. He's going the first session (next Wed-Fri). If I think there is remote chance I could get the books at a good price, I will do it. And then I'm going to look online and see what a new book costs.</p>

<p>I'm not sending a blank form saying "charge me" until I get more info.</p>

<p>I wonder if Tisch students need a lot of books...any thoughts?</p>

<p>I'm in Drama, btws.</p>

<p>Well freshmen register for classes at orientation. And uh I'll be buying all my books off of amazon marketplace or half.com, thanks.</p>

<p>The thing that sucks though is that the books are shipped to your house, so you have to go through the trouble of bringing them back to NYC. At least, I live in Chicago so that's like a huge issue. I wish they would just be available to be picked up at the bookstore or something. : [</p>

<p>I heard from a neighbor that the lines at the bookstore orientation week were really, really long.</p>
