Bentley University
Student Textbook Survey 2024
Between September 30 and October 11 of 2024, the Bentley University library conducted a student textbook survey. The purpose of the study was to gather data from students on textbook affordability. Students responded to 10-15 questions covering topics like how textbooks influence their purchasing decisions, their total expenditures on course materials during Fall 2024, and the potential effects of these purchases. The library aimed to gather insights on:- Students’ views on current textbook prices
- Openness to adopting more affordable educational resources on campus
- Likely responses and behaviors if faced with high-cost educational materials
- Comparisons with findings from the Fall 2023 Student Textbook Survey
