Where do I find em? lol
But seriously, does anyone know where I can find a list or something that tells me what books I need for each of the courses I'm going in to? Because I want to get them as soon as possible while there are still some cheap used copies left.

Go to the student services website, go to my possibilities, then just under your timetable, it should say view UWO textbook list. Click that. Bear in mind all the textbooks (and even professors) have not been assigned yet, so you might not find everything your looking for.

another tip is to buy your textbooks online. some books you can find on ebay or amazon and such, and are WAYY cheaper than even the used bookstore. (i found 2 of my textbooks for 1 cent + shipping) just make sure that the ISBN are the same, etc. cuz you cant return ebay books... and also, be aware that some profs decide to change their textbooks one week into the course, in which case, had you bought from the bookstore on campus, you could return them, but again, not the case for ebay. but hey, if it cost you a penny, what have you got to lose right? =P

I took your advice jinn, and I found my math textbook on ebay for 24.99 vs. 109 in the bookstore. It's the exact edition I need too.
