I would recommend buying the books early. You can still return them by... September 25th, I think? You should check the date becasue it changes every year. But DON'T buy the courseware! Courseware is generally very expensive and it CANNOT BE RETURNED. It is final sale. You also cannot sell it back to the school at the end of the class. It is good for the class you bought it for and that class only. In most cases, when courseware is listed as a necessary text, it will be used. But I had an experience once where I bought the $80 courseware in advance, only to find on the first day that the professor told us that "any student who did not purchase the courseware, it is on ELM." It really ticked me off and since then, I neglect to purchase that until after classes begin.
