You really need to check out this article if you are serious about saving money in college. Here are several ways you can save on your college textbook cost without your grades suffering.
Most colleges or technical schools have a bookstore, but these stores are probably the most expensive places to purchase textbooks. Sometimes they have used textbooks that they sell at a discount, so don’t overlook them completely.
The bulletin board need the bookstores or in the student center is a great place to find ads from students selling used books. Check them out and you will probably save.
Many bookstores near campus will also have your textbooks for sale. There are generally much better deals over there so go talk to the store owner for more information.
Even Amazon has textbooks for sale. Look up your textbook online and you will usually find a good price of either a used or new version of your textbook.
Publishing houses and middlemen, easily located online, are renting books to students for a fraction of the cost of a new or used book.
Borrowing a textbook from a friend is also a great way to share a text book, and more importantly, the cost. It’s not like you really need the textbook all the time anyway, so learn to share and save.
The campus library will always have at least one copy of your textbook. Most of the time, there will be multiple copies too so just go over there and check one out.
If budget is really tight, you can ask the professor or teaching professionals if they can lend you an extra copy of the textbook for a few months. They won’t need the book as much as you do and it will be free.
You may have to make notes and figure out the minor differences but older editions of the same textbook are usually pretty similar. If you want to see if you can use it to save some money, just ask the professor.
