The University of New Hampshire research suggested that business students were most likely to use Twitter, and students majoring in life sciences and health and human services were the least likely tweeters.
“The study indicates that social media is being integrated with, rather than interfering with, students’ academic lives,” said Chuck Martin, a university adjunct professor whose marketing class conducted the study. “College students have grown up with social networks, and the study shows they are now simply part of how students interact with each other, with no apparent [negative] impact on grades.”
