I went to http://bookstore.bookrenter.com/ I was able to save about $120 from the used prices at my campus bookstore. Shipping is free both ways and you are allowed to highlight/write in textbooks. Seems like a good deal to me! I just found about renting textbooks. I went to http://bookstore.bookrenter.com/

I use an online search engine to find <a href="http://www.mynextcollege.com/cheap-textbooks" rel="nofollow"><b>cheap textbooks</b></a> online. It searches pretty much every online textbook dealer and gives you all the prices to do a side-by-side comparison. Don’t forget about searching for deals on textbooks.

If you want the card for building credit, get it and then send it to your parents to keep. I can’t emphasize enough how far away you should stay from the people handing out credit card applications.

I actually don't purchase books until about a week or two in, and see how much I really need the book. Usually for non-core classes for general education courses, you don't really need the book. Also, if the teacher has great lectures, all you need to do is pay attention, and you won't need the book to study. I got a B+ in my graphic technology course and saved $200 by listening to his lectures and not buying the books! I definitely agree with checking if you really need that book for the class.
