The only thing that I dislike so far is how expensive your books are! I'm already paying tons of money for college, then they make you buy these stupid expensive books. I especially love when your professor doesn't even use the book that they made you buy. Except not.
Thankfully there is a better option! RENT. Yes. You can rent your textbooks for the semester. It's saves SO much money.
Several websites offer this, but I love Campus Book Rentals. It's super quick and simple. Find your books you need and have them shipped directly to you. When the semester is over, just ship it back. Watch this video for more information! :)
For example, I bought this book for my finance class this fall for around $175 online. With Campus Book Rentals, I could have rented it for around $50 instead. I wish I would have known about them in August!!
It's always such a pain to pay alot of moolah for textbooks and then lose money when you try and sell them back. Renting textbooks through Campus Book Rentals is the best way to go because you don't lose any money on your books.
What's also pretty awesome about CBR, is that they partner with Operation Smile. You can read more about this awesome program and how CBR helps here.
So, as you are getting ready to register for spring '13 classes and purchase textbooks, go to Campus Book Rentals and see just how much money they can save you. Instead of wasting money on textbooks, you can save it for a date night, a new movie, or some new clothes!

College Book Renter is another great site for renting textbooks, and sometimes Amazon has textbooks for rent as well. I always check both to see who has the cheapest one!

Hey, making a wordpress themed page has always been “Greek” to me, but this is very helpful. I’m going to have to go over it more closely, but thanks. I really just need a few design changes for a clients site, but I’m not too familiar with wordpress customizing. Rinoplasti
