Canadian universities don’t only hire Canadian professors – But this is OK

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

One would think that having a higher number of PhD grads versus PhD jobs would be a big issue for Canada. However, as the following Globe & Mail article points out, this is not necessarily a bad thing. One must understand the importance of the international academic network to see the value in exporting and importing high talent professors and educators. Follow the link below for the full story:

Americans Studying in Canada? Great Education for a Low(er) Price!

Posted on May 6, 2013 by admin

With extremely high tuition costs in America, it is no wonder why many American students are coming North of the border for their post-secondary degrees. US students can save tens of thousands of year by electing to study in Canada. Even with increased living expenses and travel back and forth, the savings are massive. This explains why, over the past decade, US students in Canada has doubled.

Canadian Universities Slip in World Reputation Rankings

Posted on March 7, 2013 by admin

London-based Times Higher Education’s 2013 World Reputation Rankings shows a slight decline in the rankings of Canada’s top universities. While the University of Toronto maintained its position at #16, McGill University and University of British Columbia dropped from 25th to 31st. Meanwhile, Australia, with a smaller population than Canada, has SIX schools on the list.

While rankings are quite subjective, political and random to an extent, one would like to see maintain a strong presence in these types of rankings. These help increase the recognition of Canadian schools throughout the world which serves a benefit to all students enrolled at these universities. Do you think there are other Canadian schools that should be on this list? Do you think the schools that are on the list should be higher? Email your opinions to blog@textbookrental.ca.

Posted on November 12, 2012 by admin

The end of the semester is fast approaching, and although you may not realize it now, many of you will be looking to sell your textbooks in the next month or so. It is a great time to get rid of old textbooks that you don’t need and turn them into cold hard cash. Textbookrental.ca provides students with an alternative to selling their textbooks through the bookstore. Since Textbookrental.ca operates across Canada, we are able to purchase textbooks, especially Canadian editions, at a higher prices.

Contact the Textbook Buyback Wizard for a free quote on your textbooks – Click here.

If you are selling your textbooks this semester here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Textbooks go out of edition
You might be thinking to yourself that it might be a good idea to hold on to your used textbooks and try to sell them to students taking the same course next year. Although this sounds ideal in a perfect world, there are many factors that can leave you stuck with useless textbooks. Make sure you are aware if the textbook is going to be offered next year and that the textbook edition will remain the same.

2. Keep your textbooks in the best possible condition you can
If you spent $100s buying textbooks at the beginning of the semester, make sure to treat them like gold (since they are certainly priced that way!). The better the condition of your used textbooks means that you will be able to sell them for a high price. It is always a good idea to look into plastic textbook covers to protect the cover of your textbook against spills, stains, and whatever else life at university or college throws at you.

3. Sell your textbooks early!
Most often, the sooner you sell your textbooks, the more money you will receive.

4. Donate your textbooks
Although you may not want to hear this, your textbooks may become worthless. Donating your textbooks means that you will be putting them to good use. Textbookrental.ca accepts donated textbooks. When needed, we send these donated textbooks to children in need in other places in the world. Textbookrental.ca properly recycles any textbooks that are completely worthless making sure that mother nature is protected.

Poor - The book can be read but it is worn or torn. Some pages may be heavily highlighted, the cover may be damaged, and pages may be missing. A book like this is better donated than sold.
