　　In 1972 the American Council on Education published forty pages of facts about college freshmen in the United States. They had got the facts from thousands of students in their first year of university study by asking such questions as these:

　　1．How old will you be on December 31 of this year?

　　2．How many miles is this college from your parents' home?

　　3．Where did you live while you were growing up?

　　4．Are your parents still living, and are they still married to each other?

　　5．How would you describe your present political views?

　　The answers to these questions showed that seventy-eight percent of the freshmen were eighteen years old, and fourteen percent were nineteen. It is quite unusual for a freshmen to be younger than eighteen or older than nineteen.

　　More than half of the freshmen were studying in colleges far from their parents' homes; only forty percent were within a distance of fifty miles from home.

　　The report showed that most college students had grown up in or near cities. About one-fifth of the freshmen reported that they had been brought up in small towns; only seven percent came from farm families.

　　Rather surprisingly, the report showed that only eight percent of the freshmen had parents who were divorced (离婚) or separated. In most cases, both parents were still alive and still married to each other.

　　Politically, more than a third of the students described their views as “liberal” (自由的).Only sixteen percent considered themselves “conservative” (保守的). The large group, however, were the forty-six percent who described their politics as “middle of the road”. Very few called their political views “far left” or “far right”.
