<p>What is the best thing (financially) to do with the textbooks, now that it is almost the end of the 1st semester? Thanks.</p>
<p>They don’t have fireplaces in any of the rooms, do they?</p>
<p>Sell them back to the bookstore the minute you are finished studying for finals!</p>
<p>Thank you, bff. That’s what I thought but was just wondering if there is such a thing as a student exchange, since everyone already knows what classes they are taking next semester. Fallenchemist, hahahahaha. Usually you are the one with answers to all my questions.</p>
<p>LOL, yeah this time not so much. I always kept most of my books, and I haven’t really checked with my D to see what she is doing. I think I heard her say something about taking them back to the bookstore when she is done. I am sure she won’t get much for them, but oh well. I bet you are right about an exchange of some kind. If you find anything out, post it so we all get more informed. I will do the same if she mentions it.</p>
<p>I bought them off of amazon and sold mine to the bookstore for more than what I paid for them!</p>
<p>There is now a group on Facebook where students post the titles of their old books and negotiate deals with classmates. </p>
<p>Search for “Tulane Book Trade” and you should find it. You will get <em>much better</em> deals than whatever you’ll see buying/selling at the bookstore.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
