If you have ever attended college or known someone who has, you know how dang expensive those textbooks for college can be. After you use them you can either try to find someone to buy them from you or if the school has decided to change the books, well then you are stuck with that textbook.
Finally some companies and colleges are doing what the K-12th grade schools do and that is rent the book. Sometimes this can be a savings of up to 85%, which can really save you some money.
By saving money on your textbooks for college, your scholarship and grant money will go farther. Just think, if you only spent $100 to $200 on books for a semester versus $500 each semester that will be a nice savings.
Unlike buying a book, the rental company will take the book back even if it has been discontinued and if you want to keep the book, many of the rental companies just have you pay the difference.
Besides checking out your school for renting textbooks for college, there are some companies out there that offer this service.
- Chegg.com
- Bookrenter.com
- Campusbookrentals.com
As always, be sure to enter to win a scholarship for $10,000 that will help you pay for your college education.
