Save Money When You Rent College Text Books

For any of you that are in or have gone to college, you pretty much know that after paying tuition, books can be another huge expense. Lets face it, the greedy authors rewrite the same book year after year to force you to buy a new edition with little chance getting a fraction of that cost back when you trade in your books at the end of the semester.

Well I came across this interesting company Chegg.com where you can actually rent college textbooks for a fraction of the cost of buying them in the college bookstores.

Here is an example of a chemistry book I had at college. (Taken from Follets.com)

Now take a look at how much it costs to rent that same book at Bookswim:

That is a savings of over $44 for a semester rental. Wow I wish this place was around when I went to college. I think I only got $15 back when I returned my new chemistry book. They also offer longer period rentals if need be, and when you are done with the book, you return it to them vis UPS for FREE. All of this with a 30-Day “Any Reason” guarantee included makes this one a no brainer, especially if you no longer have the need for the book once you are done with the class.

Trying to find cheap college textbooks was always a priority for me. I used to check the prices at all the store and went with the lowest one. This site would have saved me hundreds if not thousands over my 4 years of school. For any of you starving college kids, you should definetly check out Chegg.com. Just think of all the money you can save to spend on more beer!
