Textbook Rentals?
I was on the Titles Bookstore website looking at my textbooks for next year and I saw that they have an option to rent the textbooks for a period of time, rather than buy them. I was just wondering, has anyone rented textbooks from Titles before? And how does it work? Is there specific place we have to go to for rentals or is it just the main bookstore?

It depends -- sometimes rentals are just eBooks that expire at the end of the term/year.

I believe in general you have to go to the back desk of the Tank, but I've never done it before, so..

Honestly just try to buy used textbook or buy new and resell. It ends up costing about the same since titles overcharges for everything. I havent bought a new book since first semester of first year.

you rent the book online, a secondary vendor mails you the book and then you have to drop it off at Titles when you are done. Some books are ebooks though.
