dieticians, then it is possible to accomplish the rehabilitation process at home with
little guidance and monitoring(25. A). But the best results are seen at the center, where
the program is given to a group of patients together.(25 C)

ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM

D

H
oc
01

Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face
increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras.

Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial

hi

pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago.(26) + (28)

uO

nT

The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less

ie

now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less. Students are also

Ta

iL

receiving significantly higher grades. So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact,

s/

considerably lower than they used to be.(29)

ro

up

The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures,

/g

either. When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college

.c

om

appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s.(30) And though

bo
ok

there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even

ce

when paid work choices are held constantly.

.fa

In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to

w

w

work more.(33) They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure

w

activities or fun.(27) It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial
pressures would respond by taking more leisure.(34)
Based on how students are spending their time, then, it doesn’t look as though
academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time- use
data don't speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become
more intense lately.
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per
week either socializing with friends or playing on the Computer for fun. Social
activities, in person or on Computer, would seem to have become the major focus of
