Research on the "Millennials" generation

The College Board recently conducted research concerning the "Millennials" generation, made up of those students who entered college at the beginning of this decade/century/millennium.

We have all heard the stories of how this generation (my generation!) is disinterested, lethargic, apathetic, selfish, etc., especially in comparison to the immediately preceding generations. However, the College Board research concluded that the "Millennials" are more like their parents than many believed.

You can find the research and its conclusions here. Of particular interest are the findings about "Factors in College Choice", "Purpose of a College Education" and "Factors in the College Environment".
