no.... for alot of the units you dont even need a textbook... You get it once the lecturers tell you to buy it or bring it etc..

You can go without them for a while as you can just go to the library and photocopy whatever chapters you need to read. Sometimes it is actually cheaper to photocopy the entire textbook rather than buying it.

Our Torts lecturer expected us to have our textbook with us.
Business, not so much.
