A growing number of college students are choosing not to purchase textbooks and other required course materials in an effort to save money, according to a new study conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of VitalSource.
The study found 85 percent of the college and university students in the U.S. and 90 percent in Canada surveyed have either waited to buy course materials until after the first day of class or opted not to purchase the materials altogether—up five percent from a similar survey conducted in 2016 in the U.S. Nearly all (>90 percent) of the students surveyed cite cost as the reason for not buying their books, and half admit their grades suffered as a result.
