    Bigwords: 68$

    Go my friends. Go off and celebrate!
    I'm definitely going to have to check that out! My school's bookstore screwed me over big time.

    DONT BUY THE BOOKS TILL YOU FOR SURE NEED THEM


    ........if you dont have to dont buy them no one can do anything about it, it saves lotssssss of moniessss


    only buy the ones you super need

    .....renting books also another good idea

    All you need to do is google the ISBN of the book. Don't wait to do this like 2-3 weeks before your semester starts, do it like 1-2 months before it starts that's when all the cheaper books will be out there. Trust me on this, I do it every semester...I've been in college for 4 years.

    Bigwords searches like all potential sites that could have the book including amazon and chegg.

    Is it a book that your professor wrote? maybe its only sold in your bookstore and no where else? :C

    well i couldnt find it on amazon or chegg so that explains it haha i figured i would have to buy it from the bookstore anyways but ya... for every other book amazon came out far cheaper then chegg so i still think amazon is the best bet for books, altho if your site searches all to find the best prices that sure is super handy, will defiantly try it in the spring

    -------------------

    about the needing books if its a small college like mine i would suggest emailing the professor to make sure they will use it if you have any doubt as atleast in my college i had 1 of my teaches email me back within 10 minutes on a sunday night haha but if its a big college ehh best of luck

    not to my knowledge, although i heard instead of 6 months they were talking of taking it down to 3 months but at any time during your student membership you can buy amazon prime for just 39.99 a year i believe, ive already saved over 60 dollars in shipping in the last week haha

    You made a freshman mistake. Never buy the books until class starts. Often times, I'll only need 1-2 books and I go to a top 30 public.

    Good stuff though, I'll have to see how this works out after classes start. (I have 7 this semester...well technically 8.)
