This survey is designed to gain a perspective as to whether or not college students prefer to have a physical copy of a textbook to use in their classes. All responses will remain anonymous.

The data collected will provide a foundation for a senior project idea to build a website designed specifically for college students to buy, sell or trade textbooks with other students across the U.S. This service would not only connect students with textbooks, it would provide an affordable option, as students would only pay a maximum fee of $15 (shipping included) to rent a textbook from another student.

The main goal of this survey is to see if students would be interested in using a website service such as this.
