Times are hard. More and more students are looking to save a few more dollars. If you are ordering books online. ORDER THEM NOW! You really cannot afford to begin class without the proper tools, like oh, I don't know... say YOUR TEXTBOOKS! This is a time for you to plan, prepare and prioritize. Starting late can result in poor performance. College classes are often fast paced, making catch up more difficult to accomplish. Order your books early and have a contingency for delays. Some suggestions are included the list below. Add to it and share insights with your friends.
1] Visit the reference section of the library to see if textbook is on reserve.
2] Ask professor to put it on reserve, even temporarily.
3] Check with Counseling or Student Center for temporary assistance.
4] Check off campus libraries and used book stores. Be aware, the edition may be different but hopefully the first few days should be absolutely the worse case scenario for you.
5] Check out the campus early and expect FULL PARKING LOTS!
6] Don't work so hard; it may cause you to perform badly. Kind of silly working to pay for school and repeating the courses over again because you worked to much to pass isn't it. Use that noodle ;-)
7] Try to establish a backup plan for everything. Even if you only need one of 10 backup plans, that one can make all the difference. Be prepared and enjoy your classes and the college community.
