Big Heavy Textbooks!! (1 Viewer)

[lealea1511]

Hey I'm studying Nursing at UTS and was givin the textbooks i needed to buy for ONE subject and not only were they expensive but they are HUGE!! Surely they don't expect me to take them to class every time?? Does anyone know if I will need to take both textbooks to class tomorrow? Because seriously they probally weight about 30 kgs...

 

[Huratio]

there's always uts lockers for $11/p semester...

well seeing as though I only have one class it doesnt really make sense to get a locker.. its just carrying them from the station and stuff... ohwell..
im not gonna take them tomorrow, coz i figure its the first lecture and theyve givin us a heap of notes to print out for it so yeh.. we'll see what happens

I don't know anyone that carries books to UNI, they stay home collect dust and open them up when you need to

another option (although somewhat preppy) is to buy a trolley bag from paddys market and pull them around. i did that for my law books last semester and although it does look odd, at least i didn't hurt my back or shoulder carrying them.

 

[Purp|e]

haha the only days i ever took text books were exam days, when i was um 'studying' right before the exam

Speaking of textbooks; should I know which ones I need to get/borrow for my subjects before classes begin or do they tell us during the first week?

They'll tell you about books and stuff in the first week, so probably best to wait, unless you want to get the special 25% discount at the coop bookshop, which is over by now I guess, lol.
