It’s both a great way to help students who don’t take the best notes, or who miss classes, as well as a way for students to make a little extra money for doing something they do anyways!

We all know that students have some money problems and everything that helps them save some cash is a blessing. I rented my books to younger students while I was in college and it really paid off.

I used to do that as well when I was at school and it was a perfect way to earn some extra money. You just have to be careful and make sure that all the books will come back to you and in a good condition. A very good idea.

I'm always on the look out for college good personal finance tips. The only thing I would worry about is the time it takes for delivery. You would have to deal for those four days while your book took time to ship. That’s a great idea to save money. I’m always on the look out for college good personal finance tips.

This is a cost-effective way to get the books you need while helping the environment too. This is clever. “For every textbook that you rent from Chegg, they will plant a tree.”

The best service i've found so far for this is Bigwords.com. The reason I think they're the best is that they compare many items at once, and calculate the best combination of stores to buy at, including coupons and shipping. They also let you include or exclude international editions, and even renting is an option through Bigwords.com. They let you choose the ship time and then calculate the lowest price using the right shipping type at every store. Pretty neat huh!!

Good way to encourage saving money in order to pay down on the student loans. Thanks for sharing. This is a great service, especially since students always seemed to be strapped for cash.
