Q: What do you think about the price of textbooks?

 

“They are way too expensive, they’re a racket.”

Bonnie Bishop, 22
Culinary Hospitality

 

 

“It’s pretty high, some students like us, we don’t have that much money to buy them, but we need them.”

John Johnston, 19
Sports Management

 

 

“I would have to say, no matter the condition, the cheaper textbook is more money saved for the buyer and can be less irritating to think about in terms of when to return it or being stuck on which edition to get.”

Jared Davidson, 19
Undecided

 

 

“I honestly think it’s way higher than it should be.”

Isabella Jobst, 15
Computer Science

 

 

“It’s alright to me, you have to pay if you want to learn, which means you have to pay for your textbooks.”

Sherita Grable, 46
Nursing

 

 

“I think it’s cheaper and easier to buy my books online.”

Kannika Parks, 38
Culinary Arts
