Okay but why does people ever think that it’s okay to just chat and hang out in the library?? In the middle of exams seasons?? And it’s a tiny asf library like girl can you just hang somewhere else that’s not here? The worst part is that they’re from a year below me and they aren’t even supposed to be in my section of the library so conclusion why are some people so inconsiderate god help me
You’re a college student. You’re not rolling in cash, though you wish you were.
So when you’re assigned $100, $200, and sometimes even $400 textbooks, there’s no way you can pay that much.
Try these options instead.
1. Price comparison sites
Websites like SlugbooksandBigWords will allow you to compare used and rental textbook prices from a variety of websites, allowing you to find the cheapest way to get those books.
2. “Rent” from the library
Don’t want to spend any money at all? It’s a stretch, but check with your school library. They might have the textbook you need on reserve, and then you can just visit it when you need it!
3. Get an alternative with built-in study tools
The website Boundless offers a $19.99 digital alternative that is aligned to your assigned textbook and also includes flashcards, quizzes, and study reminders. With these textbook alternatives you can study on-the-go!
4. Share with a friend
If you have a friend in your class with you, split the cost of the textbook and share it. This way, you’ll also have a study buddy! (Make sure you trust your friend if you choose this option!)
Hope this helps – you should have no problem saving money on textbooks now.
Now go rock the semester and enjoy the sound of the extra change in your pocket.
