Ahhh, the days of college life. This is a time you're either looking
forward to, or you simply can't forget. And when I say forget, I mean it for
many reasons. It's not just about the keggers and frat parties. Sure,
college can be an utter blast if you meet the right people and attend the
right events. Unfortunately that's only one aspect of the BEAST known as
higher-education. Now let's ponder the relentless hours of homework and
studying. Then there are those long and drawn out exams every quarter. Oh,
and never forget about the cost of tuition. It's continues to go up as years
pass. Just be thankful if you have the ability to live at home while in
college. This can save you a fortune on dorm fees and food costs. Finally
you have the text books. This is probably the most irksome aspect of
University life known to man. Now, whether or not you know it yet, course
books can break the bank. This is why you'll want to start searching for
cheap textbooks early in the game.
There are a few different ways you can go about buying books for college
classes. The most standard routine concerns the campus bookstore. A place
you will most likely come to despise. For me it only took one quarter. I
forked out 230 bucks for my text books, and then returned after final exams
to sell them back. I walked out of the campus bookstore with 49 dollars. So,
what do you think of that? Bummer, huh? I knew at that moment that I had to
find cheap textbooks before my next courses began, or at least within the
first week of class. Some professors like to hit you with bundles of
homework on the first day. It certainly pays to have the text books handy.
This is when I turned to the web. I soon discovered that most cheap
textbooks could be found online. Amazon.com helped me a great deal with
this. Now, this process won't work with everything. A few of my professors
had specialty books made up themselves, and they could only be acquired at
the local print shop. But, these were inexpensive, so it didn't matter
either way.
Sell those cheap textbooks back! I mean to other students. Not to the campus
bookstore. Again, they will give you nothing for them. However, students
about to take that course you're finishing up will gladly pay you for them
if it's cheaper than the campus bookstore. Post print-outs around campus
with your contact info and book titles.
