Spending Habits of OSU Undergraduates: 2003
The purpose of this study was to assess student spending patterns as related
to debt, credit card use, and employment at The Ohio State University. By understanding
student spending habits and the financial circumstances in which they live,
university initiatives and policies can be implemented to assist students in
managing their finances, establishing responsible credit card use, and finding
employment that is conducive to achieving academic goals. In this report, comparative
data from similar surveys conducted in 2003, 2002, and 2000 are presented.
In addition, in 2003, data from the student database and financial aid database
were also used allowing for examination of the relationship of various kinds
of debt and student progress.
