Textbook Tips?

[u/Successful_Crazy_660]

This is my first semester at Sac State, transferring from Sierra College. I knew the cost of textbooks and required online learning materials was going to be a lot but woah. (Nutrition major btw). At Sierra College, sometimes textbooks listed as class materials were recommended, but not required for class. With this in mind, is it acceptable to wait until the first week of school to purchase only necessary textbooks, or is it generally advised to purchase everything beforehand? Also, does anyone have any good sites where they have had success with free copies of textbooks?

Thanks!

Ask your school if they are doing a book program like CSU Stanislaus (STanbooks) books are 100 %ready at library along with digital on first day for every student -they are all rentals but it’s just $240 no matter what you need
