I always enjoy a well mastered infopicture and the good people at the University of California at Los Angeles Higher Education Institute have recently delivered this one. This statistical data was gathered from over 200,000 first year students attending 279 four year colleges. The information on the chart below paints a pretty good portrait of Who They Are, What They Think, and What They Hope To Achieve.  Since CheapScholar.org usually only touches upon the financial aspect of the college experience, we encourage you to check out the statistic below referencing household income figures for this years freshman class.  Enjoy!
