Many college students live in walkable neighborhoods, something that is remarkably rare in the United States. Only about half of college students participate in the labor force, making it one of the few groups of American adults where broadbased unemployment is accepted. One of the activities relatively unique to college students is the broad use of and participation in shared spaces. College students frequently live, study and socialize in shared spaces that are managed by their institution.
