Last semester alone it would have cost $600 to buy my 5 books, instead I rented them for $150. This semester I found a coupon code to get me another 5% off "CC107445". I am renting for $120 this semester. Forget buying books, I have rented mine from http://www.chegg.com for a while.

They are pleased with the results. The rental companies allow a moderate amount of highlighting, so students can use textbooks the way they normally would. I must be that time of semester when everyone has textbooks on their mind. I've just posted the second of three posts about the costs of textbooks. (One more coming up about selling books back.) Love the approach of your site to helping students get through college while saving money. Thanks! Vicki Students in my classes are just beginning to learn about renting textbooks.

I would weigh the different factors: "Do I want to keep the book when the class is done?" "Is it a book that would be easy to resell on campus, or would I be stuck with it if I didn't rent it" and usually ended up renting for liberal arts classes and electives. It worked out really well, and I loved just being able to drop my book off in a UPS box when I was done! I’ve rented textbooks quite a few times.

In college my philosophy was to never buy a textbook except math. I generally succeeded. Ironically I only ever needed textbooks for my gen ed classes. *sigh* -Nate Nate,
