In a recent national survey conducted by vox.com, it was found that students who attend earlier classes devote more time to studying and less time partaking in social events.
The study found students who wake up earlier will spend more than 16 hours studying each week. The study also found 77 percent of students who are more likely to go to sleep earlier spend 0-15 hours socializing, whereas the other 23 percent who sleep through the morning will spend upwards of 16 hours socializing.
"College freshmen who are self-described morning people spend more time studying than their peers. They spend less time relaxing and socializing. And they said their classes were more demanding and rigorous," according to the survey.
The survey determined that students who woke up earlier believed their classes were more challenging.
"One thing that we can't argue against is that if you take earlier classes, then odds are, you have a much larger portion of the day that you can devote to other responsibilities and things."
RANDALL BRUMFIELD Director of advising
"Students who feel their best in the morning were more likely to report that their classes required critical thinking skills, that they were asked to connect what they were learning to real life, and that they had to draw conclusions based on their own analyses," according to the survey. "They also had
Nolan Scheller, a sophomore from Emporia majoring in business administration,said he believes taking earlier classes is beneficial because it leaves students with more time for school work during the day.
"I feel more productive taking earlier classes because I start my day earlier, and I finish class earlier in the day," Scheller said.

better study habits, both alone and in groups."
Randall Brumfield is the director of advising at the University. He said he believes it is important for students to build a schedule that accommodates their own wants and needs. But Brumfield said some students who take earlier classes tend to be more motivated and possess better time management skills.
devote to other responsibilities and things." Brumfield said. "So, many students that take later classes take later classes so they can sleep in, well, what productivity is there to be gained, other than catching up on rest?" Brumfield said.
Although students generally perform better in earlier classes, it is important each student has a schedule that works with his or her work schedule and extra-curricular involvement, Brumfield said.
"I think it depends on whether you're a first-time full-time freshman student or you're a transfer student, and you have circumstances that have competing interests involved that allow you to take earlier classes or that require you to take later classes. We're here to help students achieve long-term goals while accommodating short-term responsibilities," Brumfield said.

Ohio St. football player found dead

Associated Press
COLUMBUS — A missing Ohio State football player who disappeared shortly after sending a text message about his concussions was found dead Sunday, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The body was found within a couple hundred yards of Karageorge's house. The house was dark Sunday evening and no one answered when a reporter knocked on the metal door. The site was within a mile of the university's student union building and about a half block from High Street, the main artery of the campus.
Karageorge's parents filed a missing-person report Wednesday evening, and his mother, Susan Karageorge, told police he has had
Police tell media outlets the body of 22-year-old Kosta Karageorge was found near the campus after a search since he went missing Wednesday. The senior defensive tackle from Columbus had last been seen at his apartment in Columbus, when his roommates said he left to go on a walk.
A former Buckeyes wrestler, he joined the football team as a walk-on this season. He has played in one game and was among two dozen seniors slated to be recognized at the final home game Saturday against rival Michigan. The Buckeyes won, 42-28.
several concussions and a few spells of being extremely confused, according to the report. She said that at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday he texted a message that cited the concussions and said, "I am sorry if I am an embarrassment."
During halftime at the No. 16 Ohio State men's basketball game against James Madison in Columbus, pictures of Karageorge were shown and an announcement was made urging people with any information to contact police. Defensive lineman Michael Bennett said afterward that Karageorge missed practices and that teammates started getting nervous Thursday.
University athletic officials said they were grieved to learn of Karageorge's death.
The team's physician, Dr. Jim Borchers, has said he could not comment on the medical care of student athletes.

and scholarships.
The program was first proposed about a year ago, after study abroad was made a part of the new KU Core curriculum in Advance Goal 4.2. When the office talked to students about why they weren't considering studying abroad, or when they seemed interested but didn't come through, the two reasons cited were finances and how a study abroad program could fit within their major.
While the three staff members — Alexis Jones, associate director of curriculum integration, Lauren McEnaney, project manager for curriculum integration and Holly Presnell, project specialist — are charged with helping realize the Curriculum Integration, they also help with the regular work of the Office of Study Abroad, such as researching programs and working closely with regional coordinators.
Jones also said working with other faculty members and departments has been exciting.
The "Mapping Study Abroad to the Major" was the plan that was developed in response. After development, it was submitted to the Office of the Provost and the Office of International Programs. The Office of Study Abroad got the green light to put the plan in place. After that, three new positions were created at the Office to help realize the new initiative.
"I'd say it's been a really positive experience," Jones said. "It's really exciting to be able to develop some new opportunities for students or at least present them with opportunities that already existed that they may not have been aware of."
"Talking about study abroad isn't just a conversation that happens within this office here, it needs to be happening with advisors and admission staff and with other faculty across campus and so that really helps us in that process."
