More experienced students ignore messages from uni

Study support provider (and CMM advertiser) Studiosity surveyed student attitudes to university correspondence to find the more experienced they are the less attention they pay. Some 84 per cent of the sample studying for five or more years were the least likely to open comms from campus.

And 13 per cent of students surveyed said they never open university messages.

Across the board 30 per cent thought messages were irrelevant, 29 per cent that they had no value for them and 13 per cent that the comms were too long.

As to how they receive messages, 64 per cent want them by email (so much for suggestions the young don’t use it) and 19 per cent by social media.
