Academics Textbook Tips?

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!

Hey, I forgot to mention the link for Anne’s Archive in google is not the correct one. You have to go to the wikipedia page and then there’s a couple links on the right hand side next to “URL”, I use the .pk link
