Students party hard and study harder
On many college campuses, students have trouble managing their time, especially relating to their studies.
A study conducted by a liberal arts college, reported 58 percent of undergraduates reported that drinking and partying has made them happier rather than studying.
That 58 percent included individuals such as wealthy, white, male, heterosexual, and/or Greek-affiliated students; these students believed the other 42 percent "lower status" undergraduates were unhappy. Surprisingly, the "lower status" undergraduates had higher GPAs, participated in academic organizations, held roles in student leadership and more.
On Prairie View A&M University's campus, some may argue these statistics are biased and untrue.
Adrian Trueheart, a sophomore mass communication major argued going to parties and studying can be balanced in the college atmosphere.
"I party sometimes during the week with major exams the next day, I just study before I go out and everything is OK," said Trueheart.
Brittany Burks, a senior family community service major, agreed that going to parties can and should be balanced, especially at an institution of higher learning.
"Actually many of the students that party, that I've witnessed, are more focused and dedicated to their studies," said Burks.
Christopher Frank, a junior computer engineering technology major, is a strong believer of the Prairie View slogan "Prairie View Produces Productive People."
"I am not the one to waste a good education, nor am I the type to give up on my opportunities," said Frank.
