Hey, future Bio major here! Just curious if there's a textbook that most colleges use for their introductory biology courses? I want to get ahead in my studies before I start attending.
While the exact textbook used can vary depending on the school and the professor's preference, one widely used book for introductory biology courses is "Campbell Biology". It's quite comprehensive and famous in the biology education community. Many educators consider it the gold standard for college-level biology textbooks.
Just remember, while studying the textbook in advance can be beneficial, don't forget to relax and enjoy your summer before college. Between your lectures, labs, and tutorials, you'll have plenty of time to delve into your biology studies once the semester begins. An overview can surely provide you a good starting point, but the depth and pace you'll need will be better understood once your actual course starts. Cheers to your new adventure in Biology!
