“It would have been advisable to order them ahead of time. Ask for help. … I’ve bought the wrong books for a class a couple times and found out when I got to class, but it wasn’t too bad. It was easy to return them.”

“Get them in the morning. Get them early because sometimes they run out and you’ll be waiting until a week after school starts.”
Jeff Huntington
Sophomore
Mechanical engineering
“Get up to school early and buy them before the rush. I do most of my shopping here [at University Book Store]. Occasionally I go to Campus [Book Store].”

“[My first book buying experience] was okay. I thought it’d be a lot more confusing, but it wasn’t. I liked how they had all the classes written there so it was easy to find everything.”
Carrie Magnuson

Community and regional planning
“Don’t wait. I work at the bookstore in the art department. We usually don’t get really busy until the first week after classes and that’s when we get swamped. I’ve never really had any problems.”
