As I was replying to a friends post regarding online textbook rental sites, I just realized I should probably just to a public post on my page so it benefits everyone the general public who might come across it. Other than BookRenter, there is also another website I usually find an even greater bargain (ecampus). I just recently received my undergraduate degree and totally understand the struggle of stretching that dollar as a college student, so I want to reach out as much as possible! Another great tip: Waiting for your textbook to get sent to you but classes already started? Well Im not sure if many students are aware of this, but make use of your resources, check out the college/university library, they may have a copy of the textbook you need (electronic, textbook, or both), and they may give you the option to borrow that book until your textbook arrives. If not, make copies of the chapters you need in the meantime. If the library doesnt have it, most professors (if theyre nice) would be willing to lend you their textbook so you can make copies of the chapters you need while your waiting to receive your textbook. If all else fails, dont be afraid to communicate with your peers and borrow their textbook to get copies, etc. Biggest advise I can give to all the college students out there is to learn about the resources available to students, and please take full advantage of them, you are paying for it, so why not make the most of it? Do not be afraid to ask questions, there are always individuals who want to help you navigate your way through the sometimes intimidating environment of college or university. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions about anything related to school (how to read your DARS, Academic Advising, Financial Aid, etc), I will answer it to the best of my knowledge, and if not, I will help you find the answer god willing.
