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.
good thing there are some school grants out there...books are not cheap at all!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteText 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~
