Choate Housing Survey

<p>Go out of stock? Oh no. We were planning on flying into the US the day before school started and buying everything then.
Can I have amazon ship the stuff to choate under my name?</p>

<p>Yes, definitely order online then and have it shipped here. Walmart will be completely sold out especially if you are only getting here one day before. Just ship everything to <em>Your Name</em> 333 christian street wallingford, ct, usa 06492</p>

<p>Great advice, thanks! </p>

<p>Sorry, I keep on thinking of new questions: what about textbooks for classes?</p>

<p>you get them here! don’t oder your books before you get to choate. the book store has them already aside for you</p>

<p>Oooh, cool. My mom assumed they’d be provided in class.
Got my CHIP account today!</p>

<p>your chip page will change around mid-july and then you will have access to everything on the regular chip so don’t worry if you are looking for something on there right now and you can’t find it.</p>

<p>The textbooks that the school store sells are great except for the fact that they’re so expensive. A lot of kids order their textbooks on Amazon after they find out the textbook their class is using so they don’t have to worry about the hundreds of dollars they’d be spending on a couple textbooks… The prices on Amazon are sometimes half the price the school store sells them at. If you can afford the school store textbooks, well great, the school store is a very convenient place to buy your books. Money is an issue for some, so just remember that there is an alternative option.</p>

<p>I thought that they advised to get most of your books here though so that everyone had the right edition/ copy</p>

<p>@yellow22, yeah everyone should get the right edition, so usually teachers provide the ISBN number for the books so that you get the right one on Amazon.</p>

<p>When do you know about the books? Do you have enough time to order them through Amazon before your first class meeting?</p>

<p>I did not have some of my books until the 2nd week of school, but the teachers all understand. They usually have a few extra that they can lend you until your books arrive.</p>

<p>I heard rumours about a FA book library at Choate. Is this true? I always thought it was speculation.</p>

<p>It is true. It’s in the bottom of Arch under the AO’s.</p>
