How I Save Money On Textbooks

This conversation is sponsored by Cengage Unlimited, but all text and opinions are mine.

First of all, I can’t believe fall semester is already over! Time truly flies! Also, I have BIG NEWS for you guys: I’m moving to New York City! I’m working on a blog post telling you more about this, so stay tuned! Anyways, spring semester is coming, and with that, you probably need to buy or rent textbooks for your classes. My first year of college, I was a clueless freshman and ended up renting like 6 textbooks. BIG mistake, I hated it. Not only because I didn’t even need all of them, but because textbooks are SO heavy! Carrying them around campus was a literal nightmare, my shoulders and back hurt and there was barely any space left for other things in my backpack. Not to mention, they took up a lot of space in my dorm. Related: Back to College With Cengage Unlimited I thought renting books was obviously better than buying them. BUT, it isn’t that much better really. Sometimes renting is just as expensive as buying! And textbooks are heavy! Yes, I’ll keep complaining about how heavy textbooks are. Because, when they’re so heavy, you don’t want to be carrying them around campus. And they might just sit on the floor until you have to return them. I would always make up excuses not to do my homework or not to study, just because I didn’t want to carry a huge textbook to the library. Which is why I decided to try Cengage Unlimited. I know this post is sponsored BUT I love Cengage Unlimited! It is a literal life saver. If you don’t know about them already, you’re missing out. So, let me tell you more. Related: College Backpack Essentials: Everything you should carry Cengage Unlimited is a subscription service, that gives you access to all your Cengage access codes on platforms like MindTap and WebAssign, their library of more than 22,000 online textbooks, study tools and free resources from Chegg, Kaplan and Quizlet. The best part is that it’s just $119.99 per semester! Also, if you want to have a physical version, you can always rent a textbook for just $7.99 with free shipping for every activated digital course. The part that I like the most is being able to access my textbooks and study materials from anywhere! All you need is just a computer and WIFI, so no more excuses for not doing your homework or studying! Also, even after your subscription ends, you’re able to keep up to six online textbooks for a year. There will be also some new features coming up this spring that I’m so excited to try. The new features include:
