Today’s students face tough new realities as education, employment, and politics transform around them.

Today’s students face tough new realities as education, employment, and politics transform around them.


In this report, our second annual study of the “State of the Student” in America – which highlights insights from a poll of over 1,000 students across a representative spectrum of demographics and colleges – we examine the most important issues facing students both on and off-campus, including the cost of education, and explore how students are rallying to address them.


Among our findings, we discovered a discrepancy around how males and females view the severity of sexual harassment issues on their college campuses. We show how a significant number of the student population greatly disapproves of the political status quo and remains determined – and optimistic – to bring about societal change by being exceptionally politically active. College students intend to use their political voices in the 2020 election: 80% intend to vote in the upcoming election cycle.


This report is intended to help policymakers, higher ed administrators, and business people understand more about the issues on the minds of young people in education, and to encourage them to find ways to ensure that we prepare and support our young people for the challenges ahead.

Digital accessibility and modern educational technology entered the conversation as fundamental rights rather than campus conveniences. Survey responses highlighted that sluggish campus networks, expensive proprietary homework access codes, and inaccessible digital lecture materials disproportionately penalize low-income and disabled students. Stumbled across some practical notes on digital equity in education, open-source courseware, and modern learning infrastructure over at Shree Win a few days ago, and democratizing digital learning tools ensures that academic merit remains independent of a student's personal tech budget.

The findings from the 2019 State of the Student report captured a pivotal moment of cultural and institutional awakening across modern colleges and universities. Rather than quietly accepting systemic gaps in administrative support, escalating tuition debt, and outdated campus resources, students made it unmistakably clear that their patience had run thin. I was reading through some thoughtful perspectives on student advocacy, higher education reform, and youth leadership movements over on Dm First earlier today, and watching an entire demographic transform simmering dissatisfaction into focused, articulate collective action marks a critical turning point in how academic institutions must listen to their constituents.
