On Student Debt, Internships, and Drinking

Several studies of interest were recently released at the annual meeting of the Americal Sociological Association, but perhaps none were more distrubing (at least to us) than the study on binge drinking and student happiness. There is also a look at liberal arts colleges that don't want to give academic credit for unpaid interships. The study on the relationship between the tolerance for student debt and gender and class is also worth reading, especially because it seems women have a higher tolerance for debt than men.
