TestPrepInsight.com Survey Finds That Almost 33% of College Students Drink More and Perform Worse Academically During NCAA March Madness
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) March 30, 2023 -- TestPrepInsight.com, a trusted resource for higher education planning, has published a recent survey report which examines the impact March Madness has on non-student athletes. More specifically, the study explores the effects March Madness has on college student academic performance and level of alcohol consumption. Research experts surveyed 1,000 students currently enrolled in a four-year college or university.
According to the report, 32% of college students say they have spent less time studying or completing academic assignments since March Madness started. 65% of respondents stated that their study habits have not changed during this time period.
29% of college students noted they have consumed more alcohol than normal since March Madness began more than two weeks ago. 49% of respondents stated that their level of alcohol consumption has not changed during this time period.
Interestingly, 31% of college students admit they have received a grade or feedback on an assignment or exam which is below their typical academic performance since March Madness began. Yet only 22% of respondents admit that March Madness has negatively impacted their academic performance, perhaps indicating a certain level of minimization denial on the part of college students.
