I will be moving out of state to attend medical school very soon, and I wonder if I should bring my undergrad textbooks (biochem, o. chem, genetics, physics..etc) with me? Do you think they will be useful in med school or is this just a waste of time and space?

WASTE OF SPACE!!!
There will be more than enough information in your med school textbooks and the powerpoints. There is no Ochem or physics in med school. I still had my biochem text from undergrad, but that is because the bookstore wouldn't buy it back b/c of a new edition coming out; but I never used it. Same with genetics.

As the other poster said, there's no point, you'll never crack them.
You will use core notes, review books, etc. For the most part you won't use too many big textbooks. Too much info already, no need to add to it.

I have mine with me and all they do is sit on my shelf and make me look smarter.

Don't bring your books. Hell, I didn't even buy a textbook during my first year. I didn't have any illusions about having time or motivation to read through them. Plenty of good information on wikipedia if you're confused.
