Who has bought their textbooks?? (1 Viewer)

[kagura]

Kagura, I would walk about campus the week before uni and look at all the bulletin/notice boards for cheap books. If all else fails I'd definately get my books of Textbook Exchange - Welcome to Australia's largest second hand textbook site and only overnight.



You cannot borrow reference books from the library during the day. You can only borrow it 2-3 hours prior to the library closing i.e. after 6pmish.

If you are facing and financial difficulties please visit a UWS welfare officer in the first two weeks, where they could possibly offer you a $200 or so book voucher, if you can prove your extreme financial difficulty.

Oh thanks for the info! I asked some of the unit coordinators regarding this topic, and it turns out you only need the main textbook - no need for the ones listed as 'reference'.

 

[Wooz]

Really?
That's a shame.

, Yeah right, I might come back in a couple of months though (well if the med forum turns to complete sh*t and no ones answering questions properly), but yeah, im fed up with this forum and not being to have any privacy whatsoever. I've also pretty much out lasted all the other formerly active med moderators, so I guess it's time to go as well.

Go to the connect books website and paste in your unit numbers to bring up your booklists for each unit.

No, leave them at home. Your text books are mainly for use at home unless your lecturer/tutor asks you to bring them to uni every so often which does happen from time to time.

just uhm wondering, how do i know what textbooks i need and where to get them?

 

[-juLie-]

Go to Connect Books Bookstore for University of Western Sydney (UWS) and search for your unit code and it will bring up your booklists.

Oh man i did not buy my text books yet i will just take a pad'n'pen on 0 day, textbooks textbooks sort of reminded me of highschool nooooooooooooo. hmm yeah they do $$$ alot aye

 

[beefnoodle]

Bought mine, $435 in total.
$8677 HECS + $1000 textbooks per year.
This investment better be worth it.

BTW, I asked some international students, most of them are paying $25 000+ in fees & living expenses per year.

I can't complain............

 

[settle*precious]

I only needed two textbooks

 

[h3da]

People say its better to wait for lecturers tell you to buy it.. Some classes only require lecturer's notes and stuff.. So i guess ima wait til they tell us to buy

 

[umfaan]

i've spent 400 on 9 med books so far. I'm basically buying last years books because I can't find this years list and apparently lecturers will recommend them in the first week. However I'm overseas where books are wayyy cheaper
