<p>Hey Guys,
I'm new to College Confidential.
I have some qustions for future freshman and current students. First, has anyone taken African American Studies 27ac (minorities and struggle)? If you have, do you guys know what the required books/novels are? The Cal store does not have them online. </p>
<p>Second question: when should I buy course readers like for Astro C10 and the lab manual for Chem 1a? Also, can I buy the readers at a cheaper price than the Cal student store? For examle, can i get a reader at Copy Central or Odin readers for cheaper or are all the readers the same price?</p>
<p>Third: I was awarded a $5,000 outside scholarship and it arrived at Cal 2 days ago(i got an email) how do scholatships work? Do i pay with the miney or do they deduct $5,000 from CARS? Finally when are CARS bills updated?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
