textbooks

Over the next three weeks, college students (and their parents) will spend more than $3 billion on the most essential of all winter back-to-school items: textbooks. The average student spends nearly $700 on textbooks for the new semester, but an increasing number are bringing these costs down by renting their textbooks instead. Textbook rentals hardly existed four years ago, but they now account for nearly 48% of all sales.  By renting textbooks students can save 60-80% off the list price.  Rent your textbooks from eCampus.com and see why so many students are excited about saving tons of cash this semester!

I’m reading Environment: The Science Behind the Scenes

So it happened this Wednesday, I had my first exam in my only Pass/Fail class of the semester. This means I need a 60% to pass the class, so obviously I’m not going out to pay over $100 for a book that I most likely won’t use except for 2 nights before exams during some light cramming. I also knew that my teacher mentioned that a huge portion of the exam would be key terms she had highlighted during lectures that are in the text. She was obviously putting some emphasis on using the book for studying. Being that I had not bought the book yet I was a little worried. I logged onto eCampus.com and checked for the book, the new price was $126.10, I’m not spending that much money on a pass/fail class. In comes the eBook, at a cost of only $77.60. Great!! I’m saving $48.50. Not only that but I can search through the book like it’s a webpage for all of those key terms my prof had recommended studying. So a few hours of studying and a good nights sleep later I’m sitting in a classroom waiting to take the exam. In walks Tim, a good friend and fellow intern here at eCampus, I asked if he was ready. He calmly replied, “Of course I am. I nabbed that eBook last night and saved some loot”.

Book Art
As a student in college I am always using books, whether it be for class or just for fun reading. I’ve recently stumbled upon some alternative uses for any extra reading material you might be finished with or just have laying around.

Furniture gets dirty in college so new clean stuff is always good to have. Check out this pic of some furniture made out of old books.
Book Chair
Old books as art. Creative minds can create some crazy stuff, check out this book art.
Pop-up Book
And if you are like me and don’t have time to do something creative with your books, sell them back to eCampus.com for cash.
