Santa Clara University Class of 2011 Forum

[scu2011]

hi everyone,

i was wondering what people were going to do about law books. now that the schedules are posted and we know specific classes, is everyone planning on buying new or at the used booksale on campus next week? anyone checked out buying books online at some of the discount law book stores? has anyone bought the E&E supplements?

thanks!

I'm trying to sort that out myself. I was hoping to use financial aid money to buy books as well, but we won't get our financial aid refunds until after the second week of class, which means we can't use that to buy books (unless we just use it to pay off credit cards, which isn't quite the same thing).

Books are crazy expensive. Daaamn.

[sjk]

they said we may get a partial refund soon. also i think as soon as you activate your access card you get 1000 dollar credit

[renwoshin]

ah i hate buying textbooks every year. well, here we go again.

btw, thanks to facebook, a bunch of SCU 1L'ers are going to be at Pluto's in Santana Row at 1pm on Monday. hopefully you guys can all make it.

I'm gonna go down to the bookstore and buy books today. I foresee a giant credit card bill this month.
Also, about lunch on mon. is the facebook group lunch where all you TLS'rs are going? or are we planning a more exclusive (and therefore more awesome) TLS lunch?
Also, sjk, no spam for you at orientation, I don't move into my place until the 15th so I'll be living in a motel until then. Thus, no kitchen. No kitchen means no stove. No stove means no cooked spam. And cooked spam is the only way to fully enjoy spam. I'll bring you some on the first day of class.

[sjk]

Haha ok fair enough. I can wait for my spam sushi.
I guess we are going to the facebook lunch at 1. But mikee isn't available til 3 so after lunch we should go get mikee then go get coffee or tea tea tea with just the TLSers.

[M53201]

sounds good to me.

[M53201]

Is anyone else getting a random geology book mixed in with your recommended book list on the campus bookstore website? It's kinda random... I'm fairly certain civ pro doesn't require a mastery of geology right?

[sjk]

HAHA thats funny...I haven't even started to look at books yet.
Did you buy them all? How much did they all cost?

[M53201]

I was just looking at what I would need online. I think just the required books came to like 650 if you get them new.
Add in some E&E's, hornbooks, commercial outlines, etc and you're looking at quite a lot I'd imagine.

[M53201]

Also, there's bowling going on on tuesday at 7 (pm I'm assuming). anyone going? details are on the facebook page.

[niners49]

where you guys going after plutos?

[M53201]

I don't even know where Plutos is.... someone from the area better plan this.

[M53201]

oh, nevermind, I just looked it up. Santana Row, it would seem. still, anyone from the area wanna' make a plan? cause I have no idea.

[sjk]

Santana Row is so expensive

Anyhoo I will be kickin it with Valrp all morning then we are picking up Shelee56 to go to lunch at 1...We were planning on calling Mikee around 3 since that is when he is available and maybe go to Starbuckies with all the TLSers which would include

-niner
-spam boy
-ren
-sjk
-shelee
-val
-mikee
-ancorso
-stranger

I am taking charge!
Or not.

[sjk]

Oh and I have room for 1 more if someone needs a ride.
But its a small car so either be short or think short.

[M53201]

Sweet, I've got a nickname.
Also, I need a ride if we're going anywhere that's not on a bus route. 5'8"...9" -ish. Short enough?

[sjk]

LOL well its a Mini Cooper so if you think that me, you, Val, and Shelee can fit, then you're in!!
PM me your address and we will pick you up around 12:30.

[M53201]

I'm still staying in a motel near campus (my place won't be ready until after orientation ). If we're just going to Santana Row, I can catch the bus, but anywhere else in San Jose and I think I'll need a ride. I'll PM you anyway.

[niners49]

if anybody needs a ride let me know too. i'm staying at my parents crib for now, which is in san jose. not sure if i can make it out to plutos, but i will definitely make it to coffee afterwards with us TLSers (moving into my apartment tomorrow... with the girlfriend )
