Tips for a gonna-be-SMC-first year student to pave her way to UCB or UCLA. =)

<p>I didn't buy my books yet so I have no clue. I better get on that ASAP!</p>

<p>I am gona wait till bookstore receives the book info... Proly a plummer geol text, not sure what edition.</p>

<p>If it's a new one, u can get an international edition of it on ebay for about 30 bucks...</p>

<p>If it's the old edition, u can get a used book for around 15.</p>

<p>Price is good, i need a break after spending 250 for my ochem books and still have 120 to spend for bio.</p>

<p>Same here. Do you know if I can call ahead to reserve used books? I live in Orange County so it's kind of a hassle driving up to Santa Monica and I don't want to find out that they don't have a certain book that I need to where I have to drive back up there.</p>

<p>yeah most def call... I live 10 mins by car from there. I stil don't want to go b/c of gas costs and don't feel like going to a ccc on my break. Although i do need a locker card for my Chem class. :( U can also try bookstore.smc.edu</p>
