After you leave orientation, the University isn’t really done orienting you and helping you get settled. Once you come back to campus be sure to take advantage of these other resources.

Move-in help comes from Housing to smooth your move.

Welcome Week activities will help you learn your way around campus, meet other students and have fun.

Festifall takes place the first week of school on the diag. All the student organizations have tables so you can collect information about clubs and activites.

Don’t forget that the Advising Center always has a Quick Question advisor available from 10-5 everyday to answer any quick concerns you might have. You should also start receiving email messages from your advisor and can communicate that way.

To buy books for classes you will probably want to go to Michigan Book and Supply, Ulrich’s Book Store or to the Michigan Union Bookstore. Here are some general tips.

• Most bookstores that sell new academic texts also sell used books. They are usually in good condition so there's no reason to buy new books if you don't want to. You can also sell back many of the books you don't want to keep at the end of the semester at the university bookstores or to the Student Book Exchange, a student-operated organization that buys and sells books at the beginning of each semester. The exchange will get you the best price, but only if someone wants to buy your book.
  
• You might want to advertise your books in dorms or classroom buildings.
  
• Sharing books is by far the most book for your buck, but you have to find a friend who has already taken or is currently taking your course.
  
• Use the library! You do not have to buy every book on your syllabus. Books and videos for most classes should be on reserve. If they're not, ask your professor to put them on reserve. Exercise your right to equal access to educational materials. Check out the books, music, and videos at the University's libraries.

The local book stores do have book lists, but you might want to wait until the first day of class and you have received the syllabus to make sure that there aren’t changes to the list.
