<p>Just wondering whether I should start ordering the books I need.</p>
<p>Whenever you want. </p>
<p>Just note that the professors can change what books are required on the first day. Generally you don’t really need your textbooks until the 2nd or 3rd class.</p>
<p>Whenever you want (or whenever you’re certain that you’re going to take the class). </p>
<p>I ordered mine online last week (books are most often MUCH cheaper online)… but you technically don’t have to order them until classes start and you receive your reading assignments or problem sets, etc, etc; in which case, you can just drop by the Cal Bookstore or Ned’s.</p>
<p>Do you think there is enough time if I order my books online after the first day? I really don’t want to buy books from Ned’s as it’s usually cheaper online</p>
