After starting your first year of college, one thing is clear: IT’S EXPENSIVE! Of course, everyone warned you of this minor detail, but you don’t really feel the pain of all the extra costs until you are really in college. One resource that I wish I had taken advantage of is Chegg. This website allows you to rent textbooks for a substantially reduced price. While renting means there is a due date, it’s after exams are finished. Meaning, as long as you aren’t planning on studying up over break, which it’s called “break” for a reason, then this is really a great resource for those who need to save a pretty penny.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on how Chegg is working to help out students with other challenges including: course planning, note taking and tutoring services. To read the full WSJ article click here.
If you are a current college student take a look at the website and let me know what you think!
If you have used Chegg before, what was your experience? Do you have any advice on using Chegg?
