Save a Bundle on Textbooks With Chegg

We all know the best part of going back to school is not buying textbooks. Reuniting with friends? Definitely. Kicking off another season of college football? Absolutely. Epic rush parties? Bring it on. Shelling out hundreds of hard-earned dollars for overpriced books? WTF.

Heading to the campus bookstore is your most convenient, but also most expensive option. Turning to online sites like Amazon for books can save you a buck, sure…if you don’t mind waiting half a semester for your books to arrive in the mail from random retailers all over the country.

What was once a losing battle, however, has been revolutionized by Chegg. In addition to offering a number of other academic services, they’ll get you your books — to purchase (new and used) or rent — when you need them, and for a great price.

Chegg, the social education platform, is transforming the way millions of students learn by connecting them to the people and tools needed to succeed in college.  Students on more than 7,000 campuses nationwide use Chegg 365 days a year for: Homework help, Course selection, Note taking, Textbook and e-textbook rentals and Daily deals. As a part of the company’s philanthropic efforts, Chegg is dedicated to its Chegg For Good program, where it does good for education, the environment and various communities.

Even better, we’re working with them for an upcoming giveaway we’re doing in September. So stay tuned for more Chegg awesomeness.

    I rented 80% of my books last year from Chegg but this year i noticed their prices started to rise. For your best bargain don't shop at one site. I have 4-5 sites open and I compare before i make a decision to buy. Half.com, Amazon, Book Renter, etc. Book Renter is kinda just set up like Chegg but with better prices

    It's best to check all your options. I researched online and my school offered the cheapest deals, at least this semester lol. You never know :)
