Do I need to bring my books to the first day of college?

answers1: It's not so serious that you need to be worried about being
the only one with books. I'd bring them, but only take in the ones
you need for the specific class and leave the rest in your car. In
between classes you can go to your car and swap out so you don't have
to carry them all around. <br>
<br>
On the first day the prof. will usually just review the syllabus and
what she expects out of you for the class, but some will dive into
coursework on the first day especially if the class only meets once
per week. <br>
<br>
I always try to look studious and give the impression that I care so
the professor will favor me so I would advice bringing the books for
that reason. Good luck with school!!!!!!
answers2: I'm starting my first day of community college tomorrow too!
And don't worry you're not the only one that's nervous ;) <br>
<br>
I've talked to a few people and do think that it's better to bring
your books if you have them, just because. But if it really makes you
less comfortable, it's not horrible to not bring your books. I'm not
bringing my books because I have them ordered but not sent home yet.
And professors don't really expect you to have them really. There are
still people who are deciding whether or not to drop the class. <br>
<br>
Hope your first day goes well.
answers3: I wouldn't bring your books. The first day of class is
almost always just the professor handing out and discussing the
syllabus and introducing him/herself. A lot of kids don't even buy
their books until after they see whether or not they want to stay in
the class. <br>
<br>
Good luck!
answers4: You won't be the only one with all of your books and you
won't be the only 16 year old - especially this time of year. Many of
your classmates won't turn 17 before December. <br>
<br>
I always expect everyone to have their books on the first day of
class. That's how I know we all have them and that we have the right
book. I'd especially expect to need the math book and probably the
visual arts book. Many professors have given up on that expectation
and won't expect everyone to have a book. You don't really know which
you have until you get there. <br>
<br>
If that English professor jumps right into teaching then you'll need
that English book. <br>
<br>
If your classes aren't back-to-back and you have a little break
between then leave the books you aren't using in the car - stop by the
car between classes. <br>
<br>
If they are back-to-back then you'll need a bookbag of some sort to
haul them all in until you know for sure you won't need them. <br>
<br>
You never stand out negatively by having all of your materials - you
stand out negatively when you (and a small group of classmates) have
to beg around to read along on someone else's book. <br>
<br>
If you didn't think of it already - that math class probably needs a
calculator. Have a back-up too. And get a really cheap one from the
drug store for those people that didn't think they'd need a calculator
in math class and want to share yours.
answers5: Many people may not buy their books until after the first
class, so you wouldn't be out of place if you didn't bring your books.
In general, you will probably want to have the math book with you,
because you will be doing problems from it and will want to follow
along. You may not need the others in class at all.h
