I was recently sent a list of the 200 Best Blogs, Free Courses and eBooks for Business Students as ranked by OnlineCollegesandUniversities.com. It’s a pretty resourceful and thorough list, including great links for investing, marketing, management and even ethics.
What really struck me, though, were some of the stats listed on the site’s home page referring to today’s student:
- One out of three college students drop out after the first year.
- The average college freshman spends only eight hours a week studying.
- 57% of students require six or more years to complete their degree.
- Freshman spend over 9 hours a day using media and technology like phones and social media.
- Students spend more than $5.5 billion on alcohol each year.
Be sure to check out the other interesting stats on the site. After briefly browsing around, there are definitely some great resources on there.
