When I was in college I needed a loan just for my books. I felt that it was ludicrous to take out loans for books and sell them back for a tenth of what I paid three months earlier. It was just a part of college life that I and many others accepted. Well, I wish I was in school now and had all the options that college students have. There are so many programs to help save money and keep the cost of college down.
Campus Book Rentals is one of those programs. You can rent your college text books for 40-90% off the cost of buying. They provide free shipping on the rental and the return. Need to highlight? No problem. Highlighting isn’t penalized with your rental. They also have flexible rental periods just in case. This is a fantastic option for college students looking to save money wherever they can.
How does it work?:
I’m big on giving back and so is Campus Book Rentals. They donate to Operation Smile with every textbook rental. Operation Smile is an international children’s medical charity that performs cleft lip and cleft palate surgery to children in low and middle income countries. I love this charity!

Textbook prices are insane! I too wish we had had book rental when I was in school.
I love that that give back like that. Always makes me feel good about supporting a place when they do things like give back to others.
I am going to grad school in a few months so this is perfect. I need to save money where I can
We love this company! My husband might be doing some college courses again so we will be looking into books from here.
This is such a great service – and cheaper most of the time than buying books and then using them only for one semester!
One of my favorite ways to save!
