As the new semester draws
near, university students have
more textbook-purchase options
to pick from.
The UTA Bookstore is participating in its owner Follett’s new
textbook rental trial program, offering rentals for a select number
of classes.
While some students
said they found the offer appealing, other students still plan to
go elsewhere.
Architecture senior Kymbreli
Ochoa said she believes the new
rental service is good.
Students
must be careful not to damage
the book and students who may
need to keep textbooks would
benefit more from buying.
“That’s a win-win situation for
students,” Ochoa said.
“Because
bookstores wouldn’t give as much
money to a student for a book
nor would they sell a book for as
good a deal.
”
She said she suggests posting
ads offering to buy used textbooks.
