I'm a second year student, and I would strongly recommend buying textbooks used. Prices of textbooks are extremely high, and if you wait until the first week of school all the used textbooks are gone (that's what happened to me) so you are forced to buy used as you are required to have them by the second week of school. Also, you are going to be waiting in line to enter the bookstores, and to pay for them, which takes a very long time the first 2-3 weeks of school. You will NEED 80% of the books they tell you to buy as well. I spent close to 2000 on textbooks and clinical supplies, which I think is crazy, but this year I bought all my books used and I saved a LOT of money!
