Donald Duck tops student's reading listTuesday 08 July 2008 One in ten Dutch students reads the weekly comic Donald Duck, making it the most popular magazine among college and university goers, according to research by marketing bureau StudentServices. When they are not enjoying Donald's adventures, students spend three hours a day watching television and five and a half hours on the internet, the research shows, according to news agency ANP. The research also shows that sme 40% of female and 52% of male students still live at home. They spend between 25.5 and 27 hours a week studying and 10 hours a week working. Some 71% of the 1,775 students polled say they are never overdrawn and 64% have not borrowed money to be able to study. © DutchNews.nl
Well... The Netherlands had a notion of 'higher professional education' besides 'university' but in the Bologna mess, the distinction became muddy. People assume higher professional education to deliver equivalent bachelors and on the English stationary and websites of these institutions, they are referred to as 'universities.' Especially the 'living at home' metric seems to indicate that they took these institutions into account when doing the survey. By the way, the word 'research' is close to offensive in these kinds of publications; I only see a few statistics with no hypothesis before or conclusions after. To me, this is survey, not research.

Are you SURE this article is about university students? I would expect this article if we were talking about kids between 6 and 10, but university students??? Of course, this does explain a lot...
