At My College Guide, we know you are probably overwhelmed not just by the price of college, but of all the college extras, like dorm necessities and textbooks. Do you want to cut down on the cost of college?

The newest trend towards reducing college cost (besides buying used textbooks) is to rent your textbooks. Seriously, it’s all the rage. My College Guide has made it easy with our handy list of websites that are renting textbooks online.

Renting textbooks makes the price a little more reasonable and, honestly, no matter how interesting your professor made the class, chances are that when it’s over…you won’t even touch (let alone read) that textbook ever again.

Rather than have it sit around collecting dust under your bed or take up valuable closet space – you can send it back! Do your research (buyer beware), compare costs, and you might be able to rent textbooks for cheap, saving yourself money that can go towards the important things, like Ramen Noodles and iTunes downloads. Just don’t wait until the last minute — give your rented college textbooks a chance to be shipped to you in plenty of time!
