Text books and education $$$ How to pay

I don't have a job and the money I get from Social security wont cut it.
The coarse itself would be payed by the government here (on loan) but the coarse books are expensive as hell.

The coarse is bachelors of nursing. I would need to pay out for a heap of books up front and then the new texts would keep coming throughout the entire coarse lasting between 2 and 4 years depending.

I didn't have to add the amounting costs together to know it was too much for me.

Any suggestions which could see those books in my hands would be massively appreciated

Try amazon.com Go for the used books. As philly suggested , try buying used books from previous students. Place a hand written ad with means of contact, on or near the campus or class.

They claim free text book downloads (not sure if it's BS or not)
