Courseware - Buy, or wait?
I am wondering if I should bother buying my course right now or wait until classes officially start.

Last year I wasted roughly $1200 on courseware and ended up using only some of it. :/ Don't want to go through that shit again. What do?

If you mean custom courseware, then wait for sure... all non-returnable.

And if you admit to wasting money on textbooks, obviously wait.

Actually, I meant like general courseware, like textbooks for Japanese.

I'd say for sure wait. There's not a huge benefit to getting your textbooks before the first week of classes except that you'll miss the lines at Titles.

I guess so. And I can always order my courware later in the Tank.
