2019 State of the Student: Dissatisfied, determined, and ready to be heard

Updated: Sep 23, 2019

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.

This report really captures how complex student life has become, especially with rising costs and political tension shaping daily decisions. I remember feeling so stressed during midterms that I even searched take my online exam for me, which showed me how pressure can push students to desperate thoughts. It makes sense that so many students want systemic change. When people feel unheard, they organize, vote, and demand better support.

I read the post about the female wrestling team setting a new world record and it made me feel proud thinking about how hard work and teamwork can break big goals. One time when I was rushed to finish a school website I had to pay someone to write blog posts just to get it done, and that showed me how tough writing can be under pressure. It made me think that hard work and help both have value.

I appreciate how clearly the setup process was explained. In Karachi, where match nights bring heavy traffic online, learning about T20 wordlcup 2026 restreaming helps stream managers avoid buffering and deliver consistent quality throughout the tournament.
