BUYING YOUR TEXTBOOKS
Once you have your classes set it is time to buy your books. Books are overpriced. Some students choose to wait until a class has started before buying the book just to make sure the professor is actually going to use the book he assigned or that they are going to stay in that class.
Other students find someone on their floor that they are close with and who is taking the same class and the two of them split the cost of the book and share it. However, if you are the type of person who wants their own textbooks (which many are), shop around for the best price. The school bookstore is usually overpriced. Google 'buy textbooks' and a number of sites pop up. Barnes & and Amazon are usually pretty good. Also, when it comes time to sell your books, shop around for the best price as well. Google 'sell my textbooks' and compare how much they will give you for your books compared to what the bookstore is buying the textbooks back for.
