Sorry, forgot to mention books. NEVER. I repeat NEVER buy books before your first class. In fact wait a week or two to decide if you really need them. Sometimes teachers will tell you that you won’t need a book. And other times they will tell you that you do, and you will end up not even using the “required” book.

If you’re in engineering you will need a book for all of your core classes for sure.

Try to avoid buying from the bookstore. Go to varsity books on university ave or rent them online. Some books can even be found in PDF format for free online if you’re lucky.
