Who here goes to college?
I'll be starting at St. Phillip's community college in a few days, and since it's been 4 1/2 years since I've seen a classroom... I'm kinda lost. Do they give you a list of the books you need on the first day of class, or do I have to find that out before I go?
Thanks guys.

I go to Sam Houston State in Huntsville, and have also attended a community college in the Bay Area of California. In all my experiences, I have taken my schedule with me to the bookstore, and the people there know which books go with what class/section. Basically, you'll hand them your schedule, and then they'll lead you around and pile books into your arms, hardley any work for you :-).

most book stores have signs that designate which shelves are for what general classes (ie. psyc, engr, hist). then under each stack of books on the shelves, they have a paper with the class number that book is for. then again...things might be different in aggieland. good luck with school, i hope everything goes well.

I go to SMU in Dallas. I go online and print out my schedule for the next semester, take that to one of the book stores near campus and get my books that way. Then, in case we don't end up needing them, I don't open them if they are new until the 2nd week of school when I'll know if I need them.
Does anybody else go to SMU? If you do, I'm starting the SMU car club this semester and you should join.

usually you just go to the bookstore on campus, and they'll have the books sorted by subject. Say you need an english book, find the book with the label ENGL whatever under it.
I'm just going back to school after a year and a half off, I'm goin to TSTC in Waco. Classes start Monday.
