Thank you to Campus Book Rentals for sponsoring today’s post.
Most of you guys know my husband went back to college two years ago to finish up a few credits in order to get into pharmacy school. He is finally finishing up his last few this semester and if all goes well will be starting pharmacy school in the fall. Its been a long time coming.
Right out of High School he went to college for marketing and got a degree in that. He had dabbled in pharmacy while he was going to school but back in his early 20’s it was just a job. He had no idea 15 years later this would be his career. He has been climbing the ladder in long term care pharmacies ever since. He is now the Pharmacy Manager but when we realized the next step is to become a Pharmacist he had to finish up a few credits at a community college.
Since he already had used up all of his financial aid with his first degree he was not eligible for anything this time around. It was fairly cheap compared to what we are facing with pharmacy school but with him being the sole provider, three young children and a ton of debt at the time he went back we knew we’d have to be creative with our finances if we were going to afford to do this.
Tuition was a given, there was no way around those fees. The next step was books plain and simple those are not cheap! A single book to buy could cost hundreds of dollars! Yes, if you have a soon to be college student be prepared these prices are steep.
There is an alternative that will save you hundreds, renting textbooks!
With Campus Book Rentals renting textbooks you need and can save up to 80% off the purchase price. This is exactly what we needed to afford to keep him in school. It’s free to join and no fees ever and shipping is always free both ways.

You can use these books from Campus Book Rentals as they were your own. Feel free to highlight and/or write in them they just ask that you be respectful of others since they will be rented again by someone else after you.
A great feature is you can set the rental term you need it for. If you only need it for 4 weeks or the entire semester you can pick and choose what you want. They do offer different price points for different time frames too. Every book is under a 21 day guarantee, you can return it during that time for a full refund as well let’s say if you dropped the class and do not need the book your covered.
Campus Book Rentals has really saved us so much time and money since he has started school again. It has made it easier for us to use that money on our children and not worry about him furthering his career.

I remember having to buy books and hope to sell them back at the end of the semester. So nice there are other options now!

That’s what he did too the first time around and got almost nothing back for them. With renting you don’t have to guess or worry what they are worth since you are not out so much money like it used to be.

When I was in nursing school a few years ago, I used this service and saved a ton of money.
Jenn says
I’m hoping he can continue with this in pharmacy school and keep saving all that money too.

This is really awesome! I remember when I started college it was used or new from the bookstore, then Amazon came about, but you could never be sure if it was the right book or when you would get it… now there’s on campus rentals! I am so jealous of kids able to do this!

It really is an amazing service, college is almost necessary for most fields but it is so expensive. Your stuck between a rock and a hard place, I like that this can make it a little more affordable for people to be able to get a education without having to worry.

I used Campus Book Rentals for some of my courses and absolutely loved the service. Saved me a bundle and the process was smooth. Terrific option that was long overdue!
