I wonder about these self-reported surveys. Maybe I am out-of-touch, but the numbers seem worse than I thought. Do 25% smoke? Are 77% sexually active? That seems to go against previous surveys.

Other than the sexual assault, they don’t mention how most campuses are pretty high crime areas.

“27 percent have been diagnosed with a mental disorder”
I’m sure the percentage is much higher for the faculty.

The only thing I find surprising is this was another waste of tax dollars... ok, that’s not surprising.

Most drink and are sexually active, many have been diagnosed with mental illness, and plenty are fat and in debt
Sounds like a typical day at the mall here in So. Calif.

Why is being “sexually active” a health threat instead of giving an STD/Pregnancy rate?
I know many married college students, one would hope that they are sexually active!

Worse? No, that’s too low. I live in a college town. We joke we don’t have prostitutes because we have to much amateur competition. When they drink- and they drink alot- a good number of them smoke. When they smoke and drink they "hook up". And they "hook up" everywhere.

Wow, young people with their first taste of freedom make bad decisions. What a shocker.

39% are overweight or obese ....that means 61% are normal weight or underweight - which is a big suprise in today’s world.

I bet the figures would be about the same if this poll had been taken 25 years ago. But, back then, probably more than 25% smoked.

More worrisome than how many students have sex is how many students can’t cook a simple meal, nor sew, nor do laundry, nor work. More kids than ever leave college unable to do basic domestic chores, and more than ever live at home until they’re 30.
