Annotation Due to the fact that in Russia the share of students in the total population is quite significant, the study of issues of consumer preferences of this segment of the population in the field of credit products seems relevant. The object of the study is students of universities in the city of Samara. The subject of the study is consumer preferences of students of universities in the city of Samara in the field of credit products and services. The goal of the study is the analysis of consumer preferences of university students in choosing credit services provided by various credit institutions. The author has outlined the following tasks: firstly, to carry out a theoretical analysis of the most cited works in the field of formation of consumer preferences of students in order to identify key research trends in the selected problem area; secondly, to develop a specialized questionnaire aimed at identifying key consumer preferences among young people studying at universities; thirdly, to carry out a sociological study with subsequent statistical processing of the results; fourthly, to formulate conclusions and recommendations. The following are chosen as key tools for the study: theoretical (analysis of the scientific layer of works in the field of research into the formation of consumer preferences among students), sociological (development of a specialized questionnaire with subsequent organization and conduct of an anonymous survey), statistical (processing of the results, their assessment and interpretation in order to form conclusions and recommendations). The conclusion is formulated that students belong to a special group of the population, on the one hand, differing in the range of their needs, and on the other hand, as a rule, not possessing the necessary knowledge in the field of financial literacy and characterized by a low level of awareness of available credit products. According to the conclusions made, the following factors can influence the formation of students’ consumer preferences: increasing the level of financial literacy, improving tools for informing students about the possibilities of using credit and financial products, subsidizing loans, information support for students on lending issues.
