What do you prefer, /g/? Buying actual textbooks, or just downloading them?
Is it more efficient to study from the actual physical books?
I prefer physical.
But you get so jewed with text books I rather just pirate that shit

same basically. For whatever reason I find reading and actually studying to be way easier (or maybe just more comfy) from a physical book, but end up pirating a lot of my shit. For a few classes I'd pirate the textbook and if I found I was using it a lot I'd just take it out from the library for the whole semester (yes I was that guy)
Download and print out the material on the university printers then put them all in a pretty binder.
Ultimate anti-Jew way of learning.

Our university watches printer usage of every user very closely

Physical text books, i dont relly care that they cost 50$ or more, if i think the content is worth learning the price only adds to my motivation.
That being said, second hand is best.

You gotta be careful with that shit though
Getting kicked out of school for a $300 book when you pay $30k a year is a poor life choice
Also for those pay to print places you might as well just buy the book new because they Jew as well

my school requires you to be signed in to your student account and charges you $0.10/page that gets charged directly to your account. The jews hav really started to outjew themselves
I always try to study how I test. If the tests and assignments are online, I always prefer digital text. If it's always written tests and assignments, I want paper. This just helps me compartmentalize information.
That said, ctrl + F is like god mode for textbooks.

damn jew university
My uni gives you a credit of $10 that is spent on a per-page basis when you print. Once you run out you can just replenish the account for more pages.

My highschool did that, $.20 for color pages.
Digital. Downloading is free, allows for Control+F, and multiple instances allows me to view multiple pages at the same time, which works great on my multi-monitor setup.
