College is expensive. . Most of us don’t have full-time jobs and by the time we leave for the real world, we might be in debt from student loans. Especially in the economic climate today, most of our futures are uncertain. As students, we try to make and save as much money as we can. That is why I try to get all my course textbooks for free. Most students think there’s a stigma surrounding the idea of free textbooks, so let me clear the air. I think a lot of students are wary because when you say ‘free textbook’ the first thing to come to mind is ‘free online textbook’. There are dangers in downloading text for free on the internet:– viruses, spyware, and malicious data to harm your computer. While I am aware that students should be cautious, I think if you’re careful enough, and the source you’re using is trustworthy, using free online textbooks can work in your favor.
