I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.

My girlfriend, friends, and myself have gone through these sites and found them to be the ones that are overall the cheapest for the best quality books.
These are the absolute best places to buy your books from:
I linked the names so you can go ahead and check the price by typing in the ISBN number of the book you need once you’re on the landing page.
- Amazon student – You will probably find the cheapest prices for high quality books through this link. Simple to use, over a million text books from previous students or discount companies.
- Chegg – Plants a tree every time you buy a book (I know, it’s a beautiful business plan). Their delivery is fast and on average people save about 450 dollars per order. Mostly everyone I know buys or rents from here.
- Rent Text – This one is possibly my favorite, it’s very independent and has a wonderful design and customer service. You can only rent or sell books on this one, but with high turn out.
- BookByte – Extremely popular with sellers and also very great with purchasing, fast delivery. Super easy to use website.
- E-Campus – Rent them, buy them, or sell them.
- Campus BookRentals – Save money on books by renting them and giving them back at the end of the semester.
Feel free to add the sites you think are the best ones, the whole point of this is for people to find good value.

- My girlfriend is selling a brand new pre-calc book and a used calculus book over here, you can buy whichever one you need, it doesn’t have to be both.
a friendly reminder: COLLEGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
– people who went/go to college are not ‘better’ or ‘smarter’ than anyone else
– there is no right time to pursue ‘higher education’
– no matter what, you are still a person and you deserve to be treated with respect
