Hello!<\/p>\n

Every semester it’s the same struggle, when having to buy your textbooks… You end up with questions like where do I buy my books? Why are they so expensive? Do I really need them? In this post I wanted to share with you some of the tips and tricks I’ve accumulated throughout my 4 semesters here at FIT. It’s something I would get really frustrated with, because\u00a0I had to buy all my textbooks from my own pocket (like a lot of students here at FIT), and I would end up spending hundreds of $ on textbooks I would barely use!<\/p>\n

My number one tip, before buying any textbooks is to wait after your first week (because you rarely use it the first day of class) of school to get them, because it happens so many times that the teachers don’t like the books and won’t use them during the semester or they will hand you out their handouts, with the most important information.<\/p>\n

If after the first week the teachers insist for the textbook then get them\u00a0and you are someone like me who needs to have a physical copy of a book\u00a0in order to learn and highlight, here are some alternatives to buying or renting them at Barnes & Nobles:<\/p>\n
