When I was at college I was not too bothered about the academic side. That may sound odd but studying PE I tended to spend a lot more time playing sport than reading about them. I also enjoyed all of the social activities and never intended to study hard but just hard enough to pass, which I did. Because of this I did not want to spend a lot of money on text boos and so I found a place where I could rent college books and borrowed all of the rest of the ones that I needed from the library, This saved me a lot of money and means that now I have finished I do not have a load of books hanging round which I will never look at again. I think that the college textbook rental scheme is great for anyone who does not want to hold onto their books and especially for the ones like me who prefer the active side of things rather than the theoretical side.
