Saving Money On Books: Those You Don't Need Part 2

Another tip to buying textbooks is to actually talk to people who have taken the same class with the same teacher before. I learned shortly after I arrived at my school that every class is required to have a book assigned to it. This means that some professors will require you to buy books that they will never even use.

If you talk to students who have taken the same class before they may tell you that they never used the book and when they did it wasn't very helpful either way.
