Closing the book on high textbook costs

Finances are an important tool for a student’s overall success. One area that continues to be a difficulty for students is affording texts and resources. Over the past several years, 杰克逊的大学 has moved to make textbook costs more affordable.

这个问题

买还是不买

A challenge for college students is the overall cost of books. Stretching already thin budgets can make students’ goal of completing a college credential even more difficult.

When students are strapped for cash, they are forced to make difficult choices. Unfortunately, that sometimes meant not buying the textbook for their course(s). While they tried to keep up, without the textbook, they would fall behind.
