Why is College so expensive?

As most of you know, my husband just graduated from school! He finished his Masters and we are soooo happy that he did. What I wish that we would have know about back then is that he could have gotten cheaper text books from campusbookrentals.com!
Why didn't we know about this before?!
You think they will still be around in about 16 years when we're sending Chloe off to college? One can only hope, right?
Anyways.....

Campus Book Rental is this great organization in which they offer cheaper text books
- How about saving 40-90% off bookstore prices?! Are you kidding me?! Yes, please!!
- They offer free shipping to you, and also when you send them back! Heck yea, man! Shipping can be expensive!
- You can highlight in the text books!!! And they won't charge you, or refuse to take them back!
- They have very flexible renting periods!
- And one of the best things I found, is they donate to Operation Smile with every text book rental!

Operation Smile is an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles. They are a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery and related medical care for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft. One in 10 of those children will die before their first birthday. The children who survive are often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a productive life.
Every child deserves a future filled with hope. That's where we come in as the largest volunteer-based medical charity providing free cleft surgeries. Since 1982, Operation Smile, through the help of dedicated medical volunteers has provided more than 3.5 million comprehensive patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with facial deformities.
Amazing charity, right? 
So, next time you have to rent text books, please remember to use campusbookrentals.com!
And, after you've finished with the textbooks that you have paid all that money for because you didn't get them through campusbookrentals.com (come on....why didn't you listen?) You need to rent them out and get PAID! rentback.com
Here's the skinny - 
1. Go to rentback.com and find your books.
2. Ship your books to rentback.com.
3. rentback.com makes your book(s) available for other people to rent them.
4. Your books get rented, and you get paid!
5. Your books get sent back to rentback.com and become available for the next renter.
6. You get paid again and again and again, as long as your books are in demand and being rented!
