I was wondering if I will be using any of my first year textbooks in civil engineering (assuming i get in) and if so, which ones?

Otherwise, how often are first year textbook used in upper years?

If you studied properly, never. (maybe the maths for review)

Almost all upper year courses have their own special textbooks, and you won't find yourself looking for materials in earlier years (unless you've forgotten some basic concepts)

Usually you wont need them again

I`m going to keep all of my textbooks, because I'm a hoarder like that (you never know when you will need them). Plus I want a huge booshelf full of me and my girlfriends textbooks in our room... just to be an intimidating yet awesome dust collector.

Yeaaah, im keeping all now too I sold first year ones since most are irrelevant to my career (chemistry, materials, blah!)

Civil: Absolutely nothing from first year. Seriously.
