It also may be wise to ask a student who has taken the class previously how much the textbook is actually used. My son is a freshman ECE and he may have borrowed textbooks his first semester because I never saw that he purchased any books (from his bank statement). Halfway through the second semester, I don’t think he’s purchased any books. Once your classes are confirmed, there usually is a link with your class listing that will show the textbooks required if the instructor has posted them. My son registered for a UGS (Undergraduate Studies) class first semester and I ordered the books from my Amazon Prime account and had them shipped to the Amazon Locker on campus. He ended up dropping that class and adding another and the books were returnable to Amazon with a small restocking fee. For Community Class colleges in the past, I always rented the books if they were available that way. The link posted by the college will usually be to the college bookstore and won’t always be the best buy. You can do a Google search using the textbook name and usually a bunch of options will come up and you can compare prices that way. But always compare the ISBN number with the required book before ordering.
