School started last Friday and I have yet to get my books. I am usually pretty good about getting all my stuff ready before the first day of school but I have just been so busy with work, with my blog and doing some spring cleaning at the apartment that it totally slipped my mind! I NEVER buy my books, I figure I can just rent them and save the money, instead of buying them and having them waste space in my closet I rent them.
This year I came across Campus Book Rentals, and I am really liking them! I looked up a book that I need for one of my classes at Barnes and Noble and Campus Book rentals to do a price comparison and here are the price differences:
 |
| Purchase Option |
Fundamentals of Financial
Management, Concise Edition (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition)
LIST PRICE $226.00
$60.69
you save: $165.31
* PRICE GUARANTEED
FOR 45 MINUTES
That's a $100 difference! And as a college student I need to save every little penny! I did some research on Campus Book Rentals and here are the perks they have to offer:
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-free shipping both ways
-can highlight in the textbooks
-flexible renting periods
-they donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented
We've also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships to be distributed to students in communities just like yours. That’s a lot of books, and we hope to touch a lot of students who could use a hand. So add that extra book to your cart. When you rent textbooks from us, you make a difference." To learn more about Operation smile just click here
2012
"2012 is a new year, with a mix of old and new in our making a difference program. First off, we’re keeping our partnership with Operation Smile. They are an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. We’re honored to support the children of Operation Smile.We've also set aside $90,000 in textbook scholarships to be distributed to students in communities just like yours.
