When do you buy books for college?

Hello,

I am going to a community college in San Diego and I’ve already choosen several classes. The question is: when do you buy books for the classes? Do you buy them ahead of time(I still don’t know what books that I’m gonna need), or do you wait until the professor to tell you what to buy?

Thank you for answering!!!

I usually buy the books after the first class because then you can see if the professor recommends the book or not….but if you want to save money…get the books as soon as possible because the used books go fast

you wait. If you go ahead and get the books, it may turn out that you have bought the wrong book.

Some of my professors did not require you to buy a book , they thought it was a waste of time and money.

Some professors tend to stick with an older book, while other professors of the same course may want you to get the newest edition of the book.

DO NOT BUY THEM AHEAD OF TIME! You have a while to get the books after they tell you what book and what edition.

You wait until the professor lets you know what you will be using. Sometimes they change at the last minute or will tell you what they will use out of the book.
