Relax. You will find out during your first week of uni what you need for med.

we were told we shouldn't buy textbooks until the lecturer tells us to... there are like 14 in all for the whole course, but we don't need all of them atm. The first one we need, we need in four weeks, i think..

wilson! stop frightening us with your overpriced book list....

i kid you not!
unfortunately monash is not a subsidiary of the co-op bookshop chain, so I'm fairly limited in where I can grab my books.

You'll find that the books are not 'overpriced' as such. Some are more expensive and some are cheaper than co-op prices, plus you get the 8pc educational textbook rebate.

 

[ruella]

no no, i'm not stressed! it's just that my sis can get some of them in india for HEAPS cheaper, but she gets back before we find out. so basically i'm a cheapskate who'd rather spend money on cds and clothes rather than books .

So when do u think we should get them?

i dunno, judging by the advice given in the handbook I tihnk it'd be best to wait a few weeks and venture out to the bookshoppe with a good idea of what I need. I'm not gonna buy all of those!
