Buying used textbooks

<p>No, she’s not registered yet. But she knows her Freshman seminar, and will be taking Calc and Chem (both big classes, taken by mostly Freshman, so plenty of openings). So that’s 3 out of 4. We don’t know what her language placement will be, so will have to wait on that, I guess (but if I saw a REAL good deal on the beginning French book, I might buy it, then re-sell it if by chance she places into the Intermediate level (which IIRC, uses online materials and not a real “book”) - even still, the beginning book might not be a bad reference to have…</p>

<p>If you go to the Norris bookstore’s website, you can find out which textbooks are required for fall quarter classes - since I presume that the profs themselves have ordered these books, the info there should be correct.</p>

<p>What is distressing to me is that so many of the courses are only offered once a year - you’d think that a university of this size (and price!) would offer more flexibility…</p>

<p>Anyone looking to sell a beginning Calc or Freshman Chem book cheap? - PM me. :-)</p>

<p>Our EFC came out to be quite a bit more than we expected, no raises this year (and increased fees at work - so for all practical purposes a pay CUT), food prices went up and never came back DOWN when oil prices fell, etc, etc, - so we are looking to save $$$ any way we can. (Don’t want to eat TOO many meals of rice and beans or Ramen :slight_smile: )</p>
