Meet the New Millennials

At Amherst college, 1% of first-year students have landlines, 99% have Facebook accounts -

Amherst College once again crunched the numbers on the technological habits of this year’s incoming class of 438 students and discovered some fascinating stuff. Here’s a snapshot of the next generation:

Students in the class of 2012 who registered computers, IPhones, game consoles, etc. on the campus network by the end of the day on August 24th, the day they moved into their dorm rooms: 370 students registered 443 devices.

Number of students in the class of 2012 who brought desktop computers to campus: 14.

Likelihood that a student with an iPhone/iTouch is in the class of 2012: approximately 1 in 2.

Total number of students on campus this year that have landline phone service: 5.

Mac or PC? Of the four classes currently on campus the classes of 2009 and 2010 are more likely to own Windows, while the classes of 2011 and 2012 are more likely to own Macs.
