As you know, college students – and their parents – are stretched thin these days. Tuition prices continue to rise, even as the economic recession has left more and more families with less savings stacked away for their kids’ education.
The good news is that there are options out there to help ease the burden of some costs associated with college. One of these options is the growing trend of textbook rental. Cengage Learning, the country’s second largest textbook publisher, recently launched CengageBrain.com, a website with more than 1,200 Cengage Learning titles for rent – at up to 70 percent less than the suggested retail price. CengageBrain.com also offers e-textbooks, individual e-chapters, and audio books, as well as homework and study tools.
The rental process through CengageBrain.com is simple and convenient for students. When renting a textbook, students get immediate access to the first chapter of the book in e-book format and a choice of shipping options. Once the rental term is complete, students can either choose to print a return label from CengageBrain.com and ship the textbook back, or purchase the title.
CenageBrain.com is not only for college students…there are plenty of books and study guides geared towards any age. CengageBrain.com is one lucky reader a $150 gift code for your next purchase or rental!

My daughter is in college now. We bought a lot of Savings Bonds while she was growing up to help pay for it. It doesn’t go far though, college is so expensive even with the scholarships she received.
