With lots of people going back to college and university this week, I thought I would share some of the ways I saved money on text books when I went to college.
1. Don't buy any book until the second week of class. The bookstore will give you a list of books to buy, but wait until you meet each professor and ask which books are needed and which are just "reference".
2. Buy books used. As far as I know, campuses all have a student center that facilitates the buy/sell of used books. Try and get in there as people will sell their old books for half price.
3. Sell your used books. If you don't see any reference value in keeping the book - sell it when you are done.
4. Check Amazon or your favorite large bookstore. Their website often carry the same books and for a few bucks cheaper than the college bookstore.
