Methodology

Throughout this study, consisting college usa 1997 spring term, we met with several employees of a really big firm
to discuss our main objectives. Secondary research which included library periodicals and Internet web sites
focusing on college students and observations about them.
In addition, primary data was collected from college usa students which accounted for a wide variety of majors,
interests and backgrounds. Primary research included two surveys of students media interests and two focus groups
held on campus.
Conclusion
In looking for the 'right answer' I have determined there is none. The college student is of itself a distinct population
with all the characteristics of a separate population.
