The anti-social century has arrived on campus, Rose Horowitch writes. https://theatln.tc/lLAk52Ve

The percentage of students who party for more than six hours a week, as well as the percentage of those who spend more than six hours a week socializing face-to-face with friends, has fallen since 1994, according to UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute. Meanwhile, the share of first-year students who reported feeling frequently isolated from campus life has more than doubled in the past two decades. A rising senior at MIT told Horowitch that, despite being involved in Greek life and athletics, he eats alone most days.

“I feel like I’m somebody who seeks social interactions,” he said, yet “I would say I am alone at least four or five days a week.”

Some researchers blame smartphones and social media. “Hours spent on social media crowded out time that people might previously have devoted to social interactions,” Horowitch writes. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic seems to have had a lasting effect on in-person interaction on campus, while clubs and extracurricular activities are now seen more as a good résumé addition than a socializing opportunity.

Some administrators have sought creative solutions, including offering a course that teaches students how to make friends, or creating new pathways across campus to increase the odds for individuals to physically encounter one another, Horowitch writes. “The more I can get students to run into each other, the better,” Brian Casey, the president of Colgate University, told Horowitch.

University of California, Berkeley mathematics professor says she is spending office hours teaching middle-school level fractions and basic algebra to students enrolled in calculus courses.

Professor Zvezdelina Stankova wrote that some students arrive “five to eight years behind in mathematics,” and that readiness for calculus has dropped sharply in recent years according to diagnostic exams. She attributed the decline to lowered admissions and preparation standards.
