Buy books there or here?

[hassaholic]

How did you guys go around with ordering books...can books (for 1st semester) be purchased at a bookstore at the school...or did you order them before you came to school from amazon and then carried them with you (how heavy are there, is this a pain?)

or did you order them online and have them sent to where you are living. Thanks

I brought a lot of my books with me. I travel light, so there was more than enough room for the books in my bag. Some of the heavier books like the Netter should probably be purchased when you get here, but books like Embryo and the Wheaters Histo can be brought with you.

Books are more expensive in Englad due to the horrible exchange rate, so you will need to balance out teh positives and negatives of both optinos. You can save some money and bring the books with you, but your bags will be heavier and you will have less room for other things. OR, you can spend a little more money in England have the room in your bags.

Up to you.
