Study U Five Schools Where Students Still Make Plenty of Time to Study May 22, 2012 by Alexis Mattera The average college student has lots of free time on his or her hands but add in part-time jobs, internships, group work and even commuting and those hours disappear fast. Time spent studying has dipped from 24 hours to 15 hours per week since the 1960s but according to the Washington Post and the National Survey of Student Engagement, students still make ample time and they’ve listed five schools where they’re known to hit the books...hard. University of Wisconsin Madison: Long known as a party school, freshmen here spend 20 hours per week brushing up on their coursework while seniors spend 18. Sweet Briar College: This all-female Virginia institution outperforms most of the nation with freshmen and seniors spending 19 hours spent studying. Washington and Lee University: Freshmen and seniors both report 20 hours in weekly study, topping the list of all schools surveyed. Kenyon College: Freshmen and seniors have their noses in books 19 and 21 hours per week, respectively, at this "new Ivy." Centre College: Kentucky’s Centre has the highest weekly freshman study time of all schools surveyed at 20.5 hours and a tradition of passing the "torch of knowledge."ADVERTISEMENT Now how do YOUR study habits compare?Connect with our massive database of millions of college scholarships by conducting a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com.
