Spring Book Sales

Let’s be honest. Even though there is still almost two full weeks to the break left, school is still in the back of our minds. We’ve made it through the first semester, but what awaits within the second?

You’ve signed up for your classes, and hopefully at this point everything is set into place with your schedule. (You still have time to edit it! If you are waiting for that one class on locus, keep checking it, you may get into it!) I urge you to go review your schedule if you get a minute.

While some students wait until the first day of class to see what books they need, it is recommended that you at least are aware of how many books you’re going to have to purchase and the approximate prices. If you go to the bookstore website (go to luc.edu, and type in bookstore in the search bar) you can look up what books the professor has listed that the class need to purchase or rent for the next semester. (Go to the drop down menu, choose the term, the class, and your section and press enter.)

It is your decision or not if you want to buy them from the bookstore, but most of the time you can find them online for cheaper. (I will compile a list of my favorite and trustworthy websites soon!) Additionally, sometimes the difference between renting the book and buying the book is only a few dollars. If you can afford it, buy the book–you can sell it back and at least get some kind of money for it.

Have a great rest of your break, and happy book buying!
