Okay..so my Financial Aid got a little screwed up and I won't be able to obtain my books for like another 2-4 weeks.. I was wondering if there are any websites where you can view textbook pages online for free? Possibly even print? Either one will work... This will help me out a lot since I don't have my textbooks yet.. Thanks!! =]

I don't think such a website exists. If it did, nobody would buy textbooks.
Find out which, if any, of the required textbooks have been placed on reserve for use at the school's library. You can use those for free.
Otherwise, if you can drop some money temporarily, you could purchase the textbooks at the bookstore. Most of them have a window of 2-3 weeks where you can return them for a full refund. Hypothetically, you could buy them with the full intention of returning them within that period, and either get all the reading done or photocopy the pages. A credit card would help you with this, because you would never actually have to spend the money. You'd return the books before the credit card company would bill you.

Another possible solution would be for you to make a friend in your classes to share books for a while. Offer them a couple of bucks to help you out if necessary.

I doubt it, but your school library will probably have any books that you need.
