2007 College Student Health Survey

All those things your mother told you were true--watching too much TV, spending too much time on the computer, drinking, etc. will hurt your grades--and here's the evidence. Nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students from 14 Minnesota colleges were surveyed. Surprises had to do with the negative relationship of smoking to GPA. Stress is the most commonly reported problem, but doesn't necessarily effect grades. Pertinent perhaps to our local students is the linear negative relationship between gambling and GPA.
