College textbooks are expensive – the average full-time undergraduate student spends between $1,200-1,400 each year on books. You can always buy new books, but if you’re looking to save some extra cash, you can usually buy or rent books at discounted rates. If you have a tablet or e-reader, look to see if an electronic version is available. E-books are generally half the cost of new, printed editions. Be sure to check your campus announcements for information about student book exchanges – students generally sell their textbooks for less than you would find in your campus bookstore! You can also find books online at the following websites:
- amazon.com
- chegg.com
- ecampus.com
