Anyone out there still in college? Then this post if indeed for you! Are you tired of paying a boatload for textbooks that you maybe use one semester and then get scarcely any moolah back when you try to turn it in, or worse, they say they can’t buy it back because you highlighted in it (how dare you?!).
| Well, I wish I would have known about Campus Book Rentals when I was in undergrad, so I wanted to share with y’all just how awesome they are! Not only can you rent your textbooks from them, you can support an incredible organization, Operation Smile; an international children’s medical charity that heals children’s smiles, forever changing their lives. |
There are several perks of renting textbooks, rather than buying them. ESPECIALLY for those courses that are core courses, or aren’t in your specific niche of your major. I mean, who really wants a History book laying around catching dust if you majored in Business?
Here are just a few of the perks:
-save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
-FREE shipping both ways
-You can highlight in the textbooks
-Flexible renting periods
-They donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented (um, awesome!)
So what is Operation Smile you ask?
They are an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The longterm improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. Check out more about what they do here.
Also, don’t forget to check out RentBack! RentBack is new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own – to other students… which is awesome because it makes them 2-4 times more money compared to what they’d make through buyback options! (For example, selling their books back at the end of the semester.) Isn’t that something?!
