<p>This may be a cultural/regional thing, but on both sides of my extended family and with most families I’ve known growing up…renting books was often viewed disdainfully as something only done by students who weren’t serious about the academic side of college and are mainly interested in “cramming” for a degree. </p>
<p>If this was proposed by my friends, classmates, and cousins/myself to those types of families…assuming the parents/older relations are able & willing to be full-pay…they all would have felt their mindset wasn’t in the right place to attend college at that point. </p>
<p>Instead…would be encouraged to work a full-time service job/enlist in the military to appreciate the “value of a good college education”.</p>
