    Cheapest places to buy textbooks

    Hi, I will be a first year at uni this year and was wondering which places have the cheapest textbooks (online or in store)? I'm looking for second-hand textbooks rather than brand new ones for USYD. Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Choosing units of study

    When choosing units of study do I have to pick them all at once? Like, if I need to choose 24 credit points worth of units do I have to do it right away without being able to log out and then log back in to continue picking them? Hope that makes sense. xD
