Getting Your Textbooks Early

Its always a good idea to get a few textbooks before you go to university in September or October – after all, it can’t help to do a bit of background reading. Why not rent a few textbooks from us for 30 days just to have a read over and get yourself familiar with a few concepts before term starts? Alternatively, pick a few general textbooks that cover most the modules you will be doing this year and rent them for the entire 2 semesters. The benefit of doing this is that you will always have a good background source to consult if you are stuck or confused on any of modules you are doing.

Many of you organised students out there may want to get all your recommended reading list before you get to uni, so renting the textbooks is a great option as it will allow you to get more textbooks out of your precious student loan. On average, you could get 2 or 3 times as many books for the same cost by renting as opposed to buying – that includes buying cheap used textbooks as well!

Getting organised early is always a good thing to do, so if you want to be clued up before you go to university, then start renting your textbooks from Acadreamia – The UK’s No.1 Textbook Rental Service TM

Acadreamia provides textbooks to UK students far cheaper than any other UK cheap used textbook seller can. We don’t like to favour particular locations – we save everybody money – but we do have an affinity with the students of Leeds and Newcastle University.

Being based in the city of Newcastle, we obviously love renting textbooks to the students of Newcastle Uni and Northumbria Uni. If you are lucky enough to be at either of those universities, look out for our wallplanners which are being distributed during freshers fairs. There are some great student centric companies and special offers on there, so make sure you use them!

The kind people from the University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University have been kind to Acadreamia in showing lots of support. Then again, why wouldn’t they!? We’re saving the students in Leeds tons of money on textbooks, and aren’t even asking anything in return.

If you are a student in Leeds or Newcastle and have rented textbooks from Acadreamia, we salute you! Congratulations on making the right choice and saving money by renting your textbooks. If you have any nice things to say about our UK textbook rental service, why not leave a comment and let us know. We love to hear back from the student community about how great our service and prices are!
