What texts are suggested for a the first 2 years of school?

Not to presume that I will be accepted this year, but I want to purchase my eBooks before I hopefully begin next fall so that I can familiarize myself and practice annotating. Learning how to learn and take notes is my biggest obstacle, so I want to get a head start. Is there a standard set of texts for every school, or are each different?
 
woah...haven't even thought about this too much and I start in <2 months...relax!

from what I've heard each person has their preference from a long list of books the school will recommend, so I think the consensus is that you wait until you get there and feel it out/talk to people ahead of you/etc.
