<p>Thanks to graduation, I now have several gift cards to Borders and Barnes and Noble - is there anyway I would be able to use them in the fall to purchase textbooks?</p>
<p>Probably. Depends what courses you are taking.</p>
<p>yeah except from what i understand, you're given a $500 dollar account for books per semester that's already built into your tuition.. if you spend less than that, then your parents get money back. and all the books you need will be at the bookstore.</p>
<p>Those stores are a little expensive. If you want to save $, try buying the books online. YOu can always use those cards for non academic purchases.</p>
