Given the amount of time college students spend buying things, it’s a wonder they find time to study. The new 360 Youth/Harris Interactive College Explorer Study finds U.S. collegians age 18-30 spend an average of $287 a month on discretionary items (defined as “anything other than tuition, room/board, rent-mortgage, books/school fees”). The report notes that “a good portion” of that cash goes for beverages and snacks, on which the students spend an estimated $11.4 billion a year.
