What to do about books?

Hi guys, I just moved into my dorm and will be starting my freshman year at IU. Should I wait until I go to classes to get my books, or should I try to get them now? What do most people do?

Wait until you go to classes. That’s where you’ll get the best book advice from the professors.

@hkem123 Thanks

It depends on the class. For classes that require a lot of reading, go ahead and buy/rent the books right now and get started.

For the basic core classes, you should check out the IU classifieds and Craigslist for deals.

The only books I didn’t need last year were the Access and Excel books for K201, but your needs may be different.
