One of the many challenges when you're in college would be the spiraling cost of textbooks, apart from tuition fees, of course. I completed my BS degree in the Philippines. Although, the cost of education there may not be as outrageously expensive as compared to First World countries like the United States but still, the seemingly out of control prices of textbooks could pose a big financial hurdle for struggling college students. If only we had some textbook alternative back then, like renting textbooks instead of buying them, life would have been a lot easier.

Textbook rentals are becoming very popular here in the U.S. As a matter of fact, Campus Book Rentals is a great place to rent textbooks. You might ask why? Well, in addition to the fact that you're actually saving money by renting textbooks, plain and simple, because you only pay typically less than half the price of the original books you get at bookstores, you would also enjoy some perks like free shipping both ways, flexible renting period which basically means for whatever reason you decide to return the book within 30 days, you'll get a full refund and lastly, you're free to highlight in your textbook as if you owned it.

And the best thing about renting from them is that you will not only save, you can also be a donor to Operation Smile, an awesome organization that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. Wouldn't it be a great feeling of being able to help those children just by renting textbooks?

With Campus Book Rentals, the benefits seem endless. If you make use of their Rent Back Program, you make 2-4x as much money compared to selling your textbooks by the end of the semester. Now, isn't that awesome? So why would you buy when you can rent them and make a difference?
