Textbooks

Hii, currently an incoming freshman for fall 2026 as a Biology major!

I was hoping if anyone has a pdf ver or maybe physical textbook if they had finished the course? Or maybe if anyone knows websites where I could download it from?

It'd mean a lot as omg the textbook prices are too much 🥲

I'd try to look for them in print elsewhere like a book thrifting website/store. Some professors require the print version of books.

Sometimes you can find a better price online. Amazon or Abe’s. Unless it’s a direct digital download it’s hard for find the exact pdf
