Do you use old books

I have a lot of old books and notes from throughout my undergrad career and I was wondering if they are worth keeping? Do any of you refer back to your old notes or books for anything in optometry school or would I probably be okay to get rid of this stuff?

I have never regretted my decision to throw out all of my undergrad stuff. Believe me, you will get plenty of new books and notes once you start optometry school. On the rare occasion that you may need some info that can't be found in your optometry books, just google it. Your shelves will be filled with textbooks and notes before you know it!

The answer for me is absolutely not. They become particularly useless once you start practicing too, because that's the stuff you'll have really forgotten (I admit to not remembering ANY significant organic chemistry reactions, other than that double bonds break with certain catalysts).

Optometry textbooks are useful to have around obviously.

I threw out all my crap too. You won't need it.
