Just a tip to those of you freaking out over textbooks: Most people tend to wait after the 1st week of classes to buy their books. Why? Some professors may not use all of the textbooks listed on the UCR Bookstore's webpage. Syllabuses may vary, too. So I'd say just wait. But be smart, too, especially if you are depending on places such as the University Book Exchange (UVB), which tends to be ridiculously packed and chaotic.

Oh, maybe I should call housing about my roommates.
Or I can just wait until move in day...


If you are a freshman, your info should be available by now. Freshmen are supposed to receive a welcome packet during the first week of September, which therein contains their roomate information.

If you are a sophomore and living in a campus apartment, you should have received a welcome packet of a sort in your mail as well. Because I'm not in the country right now, I had to depend on email and finally received a response from Housing today regarding my roomates. If you haven't received any notification whatsoever, I'd say try calling Housing then.

Nah, just use your hand.

But seriously, no. They provide it, although it's kinda rough and like, crappy. Bring your own if you want to have a great experience using the facilities in your dorm.

oh sorry lol actually i just changed the price to $12 b/c i copied and pasted wrong from my craigslist ad.the book still looks very good, with no marks or writting inside/outside and is cheaper than bookstore's used one which is probably uglier too lol. if you still want it, sure just pm me when you find out your prof and whether you need it or not, i'll put the book on hold smile.gif

^ yeh if you buy books online in my opinion it's best to buy it now before school starts b/c for most classes you'll need your books the first/second week of school which will be too late for the book to ship to you even if you ship to your dorm mailbox, unless maybe you pay extra for faster shipping (?). most hardcover textbooks are probably needed for the class so you might as well buy it, just wait to buy on the smaller, softcover books.

what classes are you taking, maybe i can tell you if you'll need a book or not? ><

Depending on your teacher, you may not need the English book. It highly depends on your teacher though, so wait it out.

As for Cultural Anthro, you COULD get away without it; but you'd need to read a friend's. I personally did something like that: I took Bio5A and 5B without a Bio Book, and it was fine. I used a friend's book for studying for midterms and finals.

Psych 2 required a text book, yes. I never bought it though, I just borrowed it from friends time to time...Although it would probably be best if you bought it, if you're interested in the subject that is.

...and I'd imagine most math classes require some sort of text book.

You can always resell them. I suggest using half.com; I got most of my books from that site with the exception of one from Amazon because it was cheaper new. mellow.gif

My schedule doesn't show up at all D ;
this is so frustrating cause I know I have 3 classes signed up but my schedule showed me only one class.
What's going on : ( ?
I even e-mailed my adviser but she didn't reply so I tried calling but she didn't pick up or call back.

Does anyone else have this problem or I'm I the only one?

Go on Growl and check how many courses you're listed for.
