Save On Textbooks!

NEW BRUNSWICK N.J., March 3 - A growing amount of students have found ways to avoid the outrageous cost of textbooks by scouring the web for the best prices. Students have the potential to save an upwards of 90% by buying or renting used books, according to NBC. Used books are priced at a substantial discount rate causing many to opt for used books. Students are also now able to rent, which can be cost efficient when students are not interested in keeping the book. Places like Amazon, Chegg, and even college bookstores allow students to rent out books for a designated amount of time and return them when the semester ends. Students can also save cash through websites like Slugbooks, which compares textbook prices from multiple book selling sites on one simple list making it easy to get the best deal. Another resource students can use to save on textbooks are University libraries, which often have textbooks available for students to take advantage of. The steep costs of textbooks discourage students nationwide, but by being smart and cutting costs not all hope is lost.
