I want to buy textbooks. Which ones do you recommend?

---

• You will be told once you arrive if there are any, and which books are highly recommended to get (e.g. for Anatomy the University generally uses Moore and Agur, Essential Clinical Anatomy).

• Textbooks are expensive, so we recommend waiting till you get to university as most books are available for loan at the Medical School Greenfield Library!

• Often your seniors will sell their books at reduced prices (just keep your eyes out for posts on your Facebook pages – just note that some of those books)
