Students are also receiving significantly higher grades. So itappears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either. When the timesavings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it wasin the 1960s. And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less evenwhen paid work choices are held constantly.In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more. They appearto be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun. It seems hard to imagine thatstudents feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financialpressures are greater now than a generation ago. The time-use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, andit 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 withfriends or playing on the computer for fun. Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to havebecome the majorfocusof campus life. It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with thischange.
