Q: Is it easier to buy your college books or just rent them?
A: Buying your college books will be easier because you can keep them for other research in life. Even if the books are super expensive, it's always a better route of just buying them for other classes also. When renting a college book you have a certain time to use the book and have a deadline to return the book in. Also, what if you need that book for another class in the next semester. I believe buying a college book will be better then renting. You can always resale your book on Amazon and Ebay.
Q: Can FAFSA work for out-of-state colleges?
A: FAFSA does not work for out-of-state colleges because it will not cover their tuition. If you are going to an out-of-state college you will have to get an loan or a grant or even scholarships for the college. I wish FAFSA cover out-of-state colleges because no one wants to receive a loan and pay it back later in the future. Also, for out-of-state you can always earn scholarships which works perfect too because you can pay off college tuition.
I agree that buying books is easier because of the fact that you can resell them! I've heard it be done plenty of times especially from my cousins since they are almost finished with college already!
ReplyDeleteI agree with buying your books instead of renting then because when you rent a book they aren't guaranteed to be in good condition and usually there isn't a big difference in renting or buying books.If you buy a rented book it can be torn,missing pages, and have notes written on it from a previous person. I believe its better to spend a bit more on a book that is new just for you that you can even resell to someone you know. Its better to not risk it on a rented book that might not be in good conditions
ReplyDeleteI agree that you should buy your books. Most rented books are marked up and what worked for the kid before may not work for you. It's better to have a fresh book that you can mark up yourself with your own notes. You'll benefit more from your own notes rather than someone else.
