About Us
NSCCFREEBOOKS is a blog written by a North Seattle Community College student, who spent too much money buying books at the school bookstore. The student researched ways to find books for free and is dedicating this blog to helping other students find free textbooks.

Useless Advisors.
I do NOT recommened using the advisors on campus if you are planning on going a specific route.
If transferring to a 4 year university is your focus, I recommend going to the universitys' site and looking at the courses that other students of your "major" are taking.
Many programs at the University of Washington, along with other 4 year schools, require certain pre-reqs - WHICH THE ADVISORS DO NOT KNOW!
The advisors will simply recommend any random class that fits a requirement for your degree and tell you it's ok.
Many schools in Washington (UPS, SU, UW) do NOT accept the DTA. Even if you complete your 90 credits and recieve your AA, you will NOT automatically be accepted as a Junior standing.
Make sure that your classes will TRANSFER to the school you plan on transferring too.
I see too many kids simply taking any old class; even if a class is listed as a "transfer class" on the NSCC coursebook, the school you hope to transfer too may or may not accept those credits.

Spring Quarter Registration
Spring Quarter registration has started, and many classes are already full.
Register early, otherwise you'll end up with a subpar schedule -
Apparently this next quarter is supposed to be one of the most populated quarters (over-enrolled), with too many students and too little classes.
Make the right choices when you register!
If you still haven't decided on your classes, I'll provide a few recommendations
