Question aboout textbooks!
Hey guys, I m little confusing about buying textbooks.

I saw on the Titles websites, the textbooks list is already there for fall 2011. Should I start ordering now or I should wait for the first classes after professor telling us what textbooks do we need?

In addition, I want to save money and buy used textbooks but what if I get the wrong one? :S
And.... other than textbooks and taking notes yourself, are there any other course materials that need to be bought?

Thanks

People generally wait until after first classes.

Make sure you get the same edition as the ones listed on the Titles website (or your professors may also be referencing from older textbooks, you'll know after your first class).

Everything is listed on the Titles website, if you need an iClicker, lab manual, etc... it will tell you.
