When do you get your college books for college?

Is it before school starts or after the classes begin? I'm on osapWhen do you get your college books for college?
You shouldn't buy your books too early because if you drop the class, you want to be able to return the books and get your money back. You can save a lot of money by buying them online, but you'll only have between 7 and 30 days to return a book, depending on the site. So just make sure you time it right and you check out the return policies.



What I usually do is wait until classes start and I know which classes I'm taking. Then I buy my books online. While I'm waiting for my books, I buy them from the bookstore as well. When I get my books in the mail, I return the ones I got from the bookstore (just make sure to note when the last day to return books is! It's usually only about 2 weeks from the time classes start).



There are a lot of different places to buy books online. You can check out this article to find out which site would be best for you: http://makecollegereality.com/succeed/ge鈥?/a>When do you get your college books for college?
Prior to the start of classes. You are expected to be ready on day one. If you managed to get into a college you should have known what to expect. This business of waiting to get and read your books until after the first week of class is risky. Granted, you can do that, but to impress your instructors and get off on the right foot (after all, you never get to make another "first impression"), buy the books and get moving.When do you get your college books for college?
You can buy before if available, but you don't need the book for the first week, really. Most first week classes just involve going through the syllabus and basic principles of the course. There's no pre-reading involved unless they've explicitly told you otherwise.
I usually wait until after the first class. Sometimes the books that are listed as required for the class are not actually required. The professor will let you know everything that you need.
