Abstract
Students' time expenditures influence their learning and development. This study used latent profile analysis to identify a typology of how first-year students spend their time using a large, comprehensive sample. It identified four time usage patterns by first-year students titled balanced, involved, partiers, and parents. Sex, expected major field, on-campus residency, age, Greek-life membership, and standardized test scores were predictive of students' time use patterns. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.
