Surveys were administered to 4 large classes of students at a major public university in California.
Hmm... This is out of UCSB. Given it's location [1] I'd sure hope their students were taking ample time for leisure.

- zackattack 16y agoIt is one of my great regrets in life that I did not attend college at UCSB and instead chose to attend a more "prestigious" institution. High schoolers: don't make my mistake, and if you're confused, send me an email. Let me assuage my regret by steering you towards the Good Life.
- crpatino 16y agoDon't you people know how to read!!! The original data for the article is taken from 4 independent surveys, applied nationwide at different times between 1961 to 2003. Since the wording of the survey may have elicited students in 1961 to over report studying time, compared with their peers in later years, an additional experiment was conducted. A sample of University of California students were taken and each applied one of the 4 surveys at random. Results show that the wording of the surveys partially (20%) account for the differences in reporting time, but the general trend remains. 20 minutes less study each year, on average.
