When I was in college {which was for very little time} the one thing I do remember is the ridiculous cost of textbooks. Sadly, my son is now growing closer to college age. Ugh. The one thing that he has going for him {and this makes my checkbook happy} is sooo many options. When I was college age there were just brick and mortar school and campus book stores to choose from, which got really pricey. Now there are online classes, online colleges and the ability to RENT TEXT BOOKS. This is huge people!! At Campus Book Rentals you can rent gently used books for half the price of a brand new one. That will save enormous amount of money. Move over Ramen Noodles…you could splurge on Kraft Mac & Cheese!
Here’s a few reasons why Campus Book Rentals is so cool:
-You save 40-90% off of bookstore prices. (Click here for an example of books offered on the site)
-There is free shipping both ways.
-You can track your books so you know where they are.
-You can highlight in the textbooks!
-They have flexible renting periods.
–They donate a portion of the proceeds to Operation Smile with each textbook rented.
If you haven’t heard of Operation Smile they are a FANTASTIC life saving organization that helps raise money for cleft lip surgeries on children whose families otherwise couldn’t afford it. The long term Improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. Campus Book Rentals has pledged to pay for, at minimum, 1,000 of these surgeries.
If that hasn’t already convinced you….Campus Book Rentals also has a 30 day risk free guarantee, monthly giveaways, textbook scholarships, shirts, and other prizes. Registration is free and you do not have to be a paying customer to win. It’s a very “green solution”.

I was compensated for my time in writing this post. It doesn’t change how REALLY cool I think this site is at all.
