Going to college isn’t cheap. When it comes down to it, it has always stunned me to find one of my required textbooks costing $200+! I’ve always tried finding ways to save money and one of those ways has been by renting textbooks.
I’m a price comparison shopper so when I have the chance to save a significant amount, I go with it. When I first learned about renting textbooks, it made total sense. How many times are you going to actually use a textbook after the class is over?
CampusBookRentals.com makes renting your textbooks easy. By going online, you can easily find the specific book you need and compare the list price to what you’d pay to rent. Shipping is FREE both ways, don’t worry about having to get that heavy book shipped back in time. With three different rental time frames (semester, summer, quarter), you can rent the book for as long as you need. Another great perk I found from Campus Book Rentals is that you can highlight in their books. I’m always afraid of damaging a rental in some way but being able to highlight helps out so much, especially when it comes to studying for that big test!
Just to show a comparison, I found the latest edition of a book I needed for a class, Criminal Investigations. The list price is $160 but rental is $92.06 for the semester.
What are you waiting for? Save yourself some money!
