Fifteen out of 20 University of La Verne students surveyed informally said that they buy their textbooks from various online sources – instead of the University of La Verne Bookstore.
With all the technological advancements, it is not surprising that technology at last has come to the aid of students with less expensive textbook alternatives.
The University of La Verne is now offering students the option of buying their books directly online from the ULV bookstore after registering for classes.
At La Verne and at most educational establishments, purchasing textbooks is like pulling teeth and can be almost more difficult than your final in statistics.
Students already faced with keeping up in classes, maintaining a job during tough economic times, and surviving on their own away from home have another worry dangled over their heads: the ever-rising cost of textbooks.
