Buying Books
By now I'm sure you're all wondering when and how you should buy books. Don't stress- it's incredibly easy and a majority of the time it's much cheaper not to buy them at the campus bookstore (although, for 200 you may have to- sorry).
For 100, there is no book. However, there are two required books for 200. Both are not available at the campus bookstore (Barnes and Noble/Central Classrooms), but are available at SBX on High Street near East 15th.
To see what books are required for this class and all of your other classes use this link and enter your course information (which can be found on BuckeyeLink):
http://ohiostate.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TBWizardView?catalogId=10001&storeId=33552&langId=-1
Most of your instructors, but not all of them, will usually send out an email a few days prior to the start of class to reiterate what books are required but the above link is generally a safe bet.
Feel free to go ahead and reserve books at Barnes and Noble or any other campus bookstore. A majority of bookstores have both new and used copies, and some even have the option to rent a book. If you do choose to reserve a book, you just simply pick it up at the store after moving in. Just be aware that some books may be cheaper elsewhere. It's not a bad idea to take a few minutes comparing prices at different stores. The following links are bookstores that are recommended:
Barnes and Noble

*both Amazon and Half.com are known to carry many of the required books at discounted prices
