<p>I decided to probably buy my books early during orientation… how exactly do I go about that? Is there any chance I can buy a book from another student so that it’s most likely cheaper and I might get their old text materials as well? If anyone wants to sell me their books I’m fine with that too, I’m a EE major.</p>
<p>Well if you need ahhh damn maybe. Which books do you need? I still need my calc but I’ll see who is up for selling theirs.</p>

<p>Some club at U of I provides it free of charge! students post their old books for cheaper prices, and when you “buy” a book the program exchanges info then you guys meet for the deal.</p>
<p>Try this too: <a href=“http://www.bigtenbooks.com/[/url]”>http://www.bigtenbooks.com/</a>
Ebay or if you just want to get the books at a bookstore on campus there are three to choose from: Illini Union Bookstore, efollets, TIS. I recommend the Illini Union (turns out to be cheaper)</p>
<p>Oh yeah as for the bookstores you can order the books, and pick them up or have them delivered.</p>

<p>That’s incredibly helpful 
Thanks! I don’t want to wait TOO long but I think I’ll have to wait for at least some of the science courses.</p>
