How do college students spend there time ?

Studies show the older you get the harder you work.The American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the report finds 24-year olds spend and average of 3.6 hours per day during school months going to class and doing homework, compared with just 2.8 hours per day for 18-year old students.According to th ATUS the majority of college students spend most there time sleeping on an average 9 hours a day . followed by an average of 3.9 for class and homework and an average of 3.9 for leisure.ATUS results also show that on an average college students spend about an hour on eating a day and0.8 hours on grooming and baithing.Acoording to the ATUS results race and ethnicity plays a role .on average asians spend the most time doing class work and educational activities followed by hispanic,whites and then blacks.i find it crazy that the majority of a day could be wasted on sleep .i am a very active person and can run on 6 hours of sleep perfectly fine i feel as if my day is gone if i sleep any longer.But i also understand that there life is based more on school than an average student attending high school .http://www.nebhe.org/2011/02/12/how-college-students-spend-their-time-sleep-first-class-later/
