row]column]column_text]In recent months, U.S. colleges have come under heavy scrutiny regarding sexual assault.

A 2014 report released by the U.S. government revealed a chilling fact:

[bctt tweet="One in five college students experiences sexual assault during their college career."]

The findings were a bit alarming for some of the school types. The data critical to this study is accessible in the "Data Sets" section, positioned at the conclusion of this research. All data comes from Princeton Review and College Navigator.

Together with this study we've incorporated additional statistical data regarding sexual assault incidents in colleges that have direct or indirect relevance to the topic. column_text]column]row]row]column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1426138611311{border-top-width: 20px !important;border-right-width: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 20px !important;border-left-width: 20px !important;border-left-color: #efefef !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #efefef !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #efefef !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #efefef !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}"]custom_heading text="Party Schools" font_container="tag:h2|font_size:64px|text_align:center" google_fonts="font_family:Cinzel%3Aregular%2C700%2C900|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"]custom_heading text="0.07%" font_container="tag:h2|font_size:48px|text_align:center|color:%23dd3333" google_fonts="font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20italic%3A900%3Aitalic" css=".vc_custom_1426140956763{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;padding-top: 29px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}"]column]column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1426138626593{border-top-width: 20px !important;border-right-width: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 20px !important;border-left-width: 20px !important;border-left-color: #efefef !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #efefef !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #efefef !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #efefef !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}"]custom_heading text="Stone-Cold-Sober Schools" font_container="tag:h2|font_size:64px|text_align:center" google_fonts="font_family:Cinzel%3Aregular%2C700%2C900|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal"]custom_heading text="0.01%" font_container="tag:h2|font_size:48px|text_align:center|color:%2381d742" google_fonts="font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20italic%3A900%3Aitalic" css=".vc_custom_1426141062382{border-bottom-width: 20px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}"]column]row]row]column]custom_heading text="Party Schools experience 600% more on-campus sexual assaults than Stone-Cold-Sober schools" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23dd3333" google_fonts="font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal"]column_text css=".vc_custom_1426576745720{margin-top: -20px !important;}"]

  • Got drunk more often since entering college.
