Would you know if it is better to buy used textbooks off the internet? Advantages and disadvantages.  I have a bunch of text books I have to buy . And so expensive.

Well, I don't know, if it's cheaper I say go for it -- I don't mind underlining, highlighting, etc. in my books at all! It's not like I'm buying an heirloom Bible! Sometimes the notes are even helpful or interesting!  :D

I agree with Shin. If they're cheaper go for it. I would make sure they say they are in very good shape (no other writing, etc., since that could be confusing for you).
