[quote=Anonymous][quote]Just remember, and true of the colleges thread generally, anyone who is providing advice for[b] when they were in college is almost certainly wrong about how things work today[/b]. Many colleges don't even have bookstores and those that do sell far more clothes than books. Schools and professors vary a lot, my daughter had a combination of ebooks and real books, which she purchased during orientation. (At some schools, Kinkos or the equivlanet may provide readers though I suspect most of that has moved online.) I did not do a thing and wouldn't even know where to look, she took care of it, and your child should too. If your child will be a Freshman, then there will be an orientation where books can be purchased, and if your child is not a Freshman, then presumably he or she knows how to access the books. if all else fails, Amazon will come to the rescue, and Amazon prime will get some there quickly.[/quote]

I'm amazed at how many people are posting in this forum about their own days in college. [/quote]
