The Perks of Renting a Book

My husband has been working on his  master's degree.  He only takes  three subjects every semester because he  works full time.  I feel bad that he still has to  do his  class  homework when he gets home from work.  His work is paying   some percentage of his tuition and  Duquesne University also grant him a scholarship which helps a lot.  The only thing he spends money in is his books.  I tell you those books are expensive.  
For those of you who are in college and looking for some ways to save money in getting your college books.  You can try the flexible renting periods  at CampusBookRentals. Another  perk of renting textbooks is the  chance to save 40-90% off of bookstore prices,  CampusBookRentals also  offers free shipping both ways, so that right there is already a big savings.   I like the fact that CampusBookRentals  donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented.  So if you rent your textbook from them, you are also  part of the donation that they are making to Operation Smile.  You can watch the video below how it works.
 
I have a huge admiration for  those companies who supports  organization like the Operation Smile.  This organization, Operation Smile provides free surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the world.  For every  textbook rented,  the company mentioned above also donates  part of the sale to Operation Smile.
Rent your textbooks and have a chance to help  these children  have their full smile again.

  2. I wish this had been around when I went to college--I spent an arm and a leg on all those books which became obsolete the next semester. I also love that they support Operation Smile!

  3. Text books can be so expensive, I love that they have a program that gives back to kids. Makes you feel a little better knowing your saving money but even better when you know that money is being used in a wonderful way~
