If you have a child who is in college, or if you are pursuing a degree yourself, brace yourself for sticker shock when you hit the campus book store!
Did you know that the price of textbooks has increased 82% over the past decade? That’s three times the rate of inflation!
US News reports that the average student spends as much as $1200 on textbooks and supplies alone. That’s equivalent to 39 percent of tuition and fees at your local community college!
Because many students cannot afford to shoulder these outrageous costs, 65% of students forego buying required textbooks – even though they risk receiving a lower grade by doing so.
Thankfully, there is a company that can help you obtain the textbooks you need at a price you can afford!
Why not join the growing movement of savvy shoppers who are renting their textbooks through CampusBookRentals?
CampusBookRentals is a visionary company that has rented textbooks to over 1 million students on over 5800 college campuses since it was founded in 2007! They offer students the nation’s largest selection of college textbooks for rent – and save students up to 80% off their textbooks in the process!
Following is a list of some of the benefits you’ll reap when you rent your college textbooks through CampusBookRentals:
- You save 40% to 90% off of bookstore prices.
- You can rent books for as long as you need them!
- Your books are delivered directly to your doorstep!
- You receive free shipping – both ways!

- You can highlight your books – just as if you owned them!
- If you decide you like your book – you can buy it at the end of the semester!

Now, if you’ve already purchased your college textbooks for the semester, don’t fret – CampusBookRentals still has you covered! When you enroll in their Rentback program – an innovation that allows you to rent your textbooks to other students – you can make 2 to 4 times as much money as you would selling back your books at the end of the semester!
And, you’ll be happy to learn that CampusBookRentals helps save children’s lives through their partnership with Operation Smile!
When I attended college, I got stuck paying full price for college textbooks because companies like CampusBookRentals did not exist.
Aren’t you glad that times have changed and you can now save up to 80% on your college textbooks with CampusBookRentals?

This sound like a very good concept, even though these days most books are online or e-books I myself still think that it’s great to have a physical book. And textbooks can become quite expensive, not to mention they are used and most of them never ever touch again.
What great tips! I’ve gotten some pretty good deals through my own methods, but I’ll definitely check this resource out next semester! Thanks for sharing at SITS! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Brittany – hope you can save money using this resource!
Best of luck to you in your studies! 🙂
