New freshman – do I need to purchase textbooks before semester starts?

I will be a new freshman at a community college this year in September. Just wondering if I should purchase textbooks before the semester starts.

You usually have a class period or two to get your books, but you might need to check on-line and see if your professors have a syllabus up already. One of mine already has it up and it is on Semester Book, so I can buy that text book with certainty. Many colleges are going more and more to electronic communication and less handouts in class so be prepared for that aspect of college.
