<p>The student book store isn't the cheapest, is it? Haha. . .</p>
<p>And also, when do you buy textbooks if you're waitlisted for a class and the department says just to show up for the first day anyway. . .</p>
<p>Not at all. Try Amazon or Half.com.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend buying books for a waitlisted class until you’re actually enrolled or have a good chance of getting into the classes. Usually classes don’t do much out of the textbook until after the first week so it’s safe to buy it sometime during the first week of classes.</p>

<p>Technically it’s the cheapest . . . technically</p>
<p>to-to the-rrent pimpppp.</p>
<p>i got a $60 book for free last semester by torrenting. I only wished id figured out earlier than junior yar that sometimes textbooks can be torrented. Save bundles!!!</p>
<p>I hate reading books off a computer though</p>
<p>^ Agreed…</p>
<p>you could always print it out…</p>
<p>added plus is that you can carry just parts of the textbook around and not 50-something lbs…</p>
<p>if you suck at torrenting or the textbook isn’t available via torrent,
you could always buy them at the student store.
spend a few hours photographing each page (digitize it and save it on your comp)
then return the books to the store the next day, and get your money back</p>
<p>$0
0 lbs.
0 clutter.</p>
<p>best of both worlds (now you can hoard AND not have to worry about where you’re going to store the pages until you have your little library in an unused corner of your future house…)</p>
<p>and i agree you could just print it out… (for cheap or free [ask someone you know who has free printing on campus if you don’t have said privileges…])</p>
<p>Anyone can get free printing at the OCF</p>
<p>then there are no excuses…</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys =)</p>
<p>P.S. Apparently, you can only get 250 pages of printing per semester @ the OCF</p>
<p>^then milk a friend who has free printing privileges… a couple majors have this</p>
<p>Literally milk?</p>
<p>Milk him! Oh yeeeeeah</p>
<p>Try making friends with older students and borrow the books from them.</p>
<p>Some books are free legally if you are willing to read them without printing them:</p>
