Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good website to get decently priced used college textbooks? Planning to re-enter the college world in a few months and want to start to brush up.

Check amazon as one source.

Here's an Amazon scam you can use. Many college students try it.

Order the books you need, used. Then send them back for a full refund when youre done with them. Amazon forces sellers to take the books back for any and every reason. So college kids abuse the sellers by borrowing the books and returning them.

Nuclear Engineering is the major, not sure what classes beyond English, calculus, and programming [though which language it'll be is debatable].

Looking to start workups in Adv Algebra, trig, and pre-calculus, along with some basic textbooks in regards to civilian reactors [a bit different than the Navy version].

From there, depends on what PSU will transfer over from the roughly 100 credits I've gotten from NNPTC and Navy experience

Meh no plans to scam -shrugs- its not in me, besides, if Jim Webb's bill goes through I won't be so concerned.

If you know which college you'll be attending and which books you'll need, you may want to check their website for used books or want ads.

Does your college book store not sell used books? (though you might not get the cheaper than you would somewhere else)

Not accepted yet...planning to apply as a transfer student for the spring semester. They have distance classes I can take till I am out of the Navy, then go full-time. But yea...lol the college is about a 7hr drive from here..

Most do scam once they realize the college library doesnt have the books they need.
