What I think about Rent.Buy.Save

     Rent Buy Save is a campus based way for students at Christian Brothers University to save money on college textbooks. They eventually hope to spread to other local campuses within the city of Memphis. It works by comparing costs of books to other competitors to see which prices are the lowest and allowing students ways to sell their unwanted textbooks. At CBU the bookstore charges way too much for their textbooks which students may or may not use for one semester. I know for me, since I am an engineering major, one of my textbooks was almost $300 at the bookstore compared to $50 online. The costs of books are way too overpriced so I feel Rent Buy Save is really combating a real social problem.
     I really liked how they delivered their message on their whole mission and their plan to reach their mission. I like how they will donate ten percent of all profits to providing books for orphanages and daycares. I like how they took the time out to actually ask the other students and staff of CBU how they feel about the campus bookstore and got their feedback. They even took the time out to ask the enemy ( the CBU bookstore) itself about the problem and their solution for it. I generally like the idea because it saves the students of CBU thousands when CBU has the highest tuition in Memphis. Their plan was well thought out and could really be seen through. I like how they included a social aspect to their app to get feedback from other students around CBU about whether they will actually use a book in class or not. I thought the quote at the end by the president of CBU was a very unique idea. Overall I enjoyed their presentation it made me laugh and smile and kept me entertained.
